AMINO ACIDS &
SOURCE OF
9-ESSENTIAL
AMINO ACIDS
* Phenylalanine. Your body turns this amino acid into the neurotransmitters tyrosine, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. It plays an integral role in the structure and function of proteins and enzymes and the production of other amino acids (7). * Valine. This is one of three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) on this list. That means it has a chain branching off from one side of its molecular structure. Valine helps stimulate muscle growth and regeneration and is involved in energy production (8). * Threonine. This is a principal part of structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin, which are important components of your skin and connective tissue. It also plays a role in fat metabolism and immune function SOURCE: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/essential-amino-acids#how-many-are-there
COMPLETE PROTEIN IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR DAILY NUTRITION AND IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR REPAIRING AND MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BODY.
​
THE 9 - ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS (EAA) CAN ONLY OBTAINED FROM FOOD OR SUPPLEMENTS. THESE 9-EAA (EACH HAS A SPECIAL FUNCTION) ARE TRYPTOPHAN, THREONINE, ISOLEUCINE, LEUCINE, METHIONINE, PHENYLALANINE, VALINE, LYSINE, AND HISTIDINE. THERE ARE MANY CREDIBLE SOURCES OF WHAT THESE AMINO ACIDS REPRESENT SUCH AS: HEALTHLINE, CLEVELAND CLINIC, AND MEDICAL NEWS TODAY.
QUALITY PROTEIN
Protein Completeness: Source of High-Quality, Complete Protein. Athletes need to get an adequate amount of protein in their diet because it is used to repair and rebuild muscles and has many other important functions in the body. It is important to eat sources of protein that contain all 9 essential amino acids (our bodies cannot make these), otherwise known as a complete protein. Buckwheat contains all 9 essential amino acids, which makes it a high-quality, complete protein (this type of protein can be hard to come by in the vegan diet). It is rich in limiting amino acids like lysine and arginine, which are in shortest supply in plant-based diets. SOURCE: https://www.foodnerdinc.com/blogs/food-for-thought/buckwheat
BECAUSE OF ITS "WELL-BALANCED" AMINO ACID PROFILE, THE PROTEIN IN BUCKWHEAT IS VERY HIGH QUALITY.
THIS HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN HELPS REPAIR AND MAINTAIN TISSUES IN THE BODY SUCH AS STRENGTHENING AND BUILDING MUSCLES, BRAIN-HEALTH, DIABETES PREVENTION, AND BLOOD CIRCULATION.
