Amino acids are the building blocks for protein our body needs around 20 types of amino acids to build up protein. There are two kinds of amino acids: essential and non-essential amino acids. Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body so we must obtain them from our diet whereas non-essential amino acids can be made by the body. We must get all types of amino acids in order to build different types of proteins.
