Essential amino acids are building blocks of proteins. They are "essential" because the body cannot synthesize them.
They must be obtained from food or via supplementation.
EAA stands for E ssential Amino Acids or Essential Amino Acids, and includes the nine amino acids essential to the human body:
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, so they are essential when the body cannot produce them itself and we need to obtain them through the diet.
These amino acids are important for various physiological functions such as growth, development and maintenance of the organism and are necessary to maintain muscle.
As a result, EAA supplementation to promote muscle mass gain is very popular with athletes. In addition, as part of diets and definition phases, an adequate supply of essential amino acids and high-quality proteins is also important to prevent muscle catabolism (breakdown).
Amino acids form the building blocks of protein, much like bricks to build a house. They help build and maintain muscle mass. Their role is beneficial in the success of your physical goals, since maintaining your muscles is crucial in order to progress, whether you want to gain mass or lose weight.
How to obtain these famous acids amino?
These nine essential amino acids must be provided by food. The most common sources are: meat, poultry and eggs or via supplementation.
Thus, it may be difficult for those following a vegan diet to benefit from a sufficient level of amino acids through their diet.
EAAs (essential amino acids), are also intended for people who struggle to consume enough protein every day:
➻ People who don't have time to eat
➻ People who travel
➻ Skinny people who struggle to gain weight
➻ Vegans
➻ People in the cutting phase who want to keep as much muscle mass as possible
➻ People who cannot tolerate protein in powder

Coach's opinion:
-EAAs are a supplement that I routinely give to all of my students/athletes.
EAAs help maintain a stable level of amino acids in the blood during your workouts and will allow the muscles to use them when they will need it the most, which is after practice.
