    proteins are made up of sometimes thousands of amino acids.

    why take 3 amino acids (BCAA's) when eating a single egg can provide you with all the EAA and over 1gram of pure leucine and half a gram of isoleucine.

    its lunacy.
    Because quite simply you are not taking the benefits from complete protein sources.

    Why take carnitine (lysine and methionine) for weight loss if you are eating a protein rich diet?

    Why take arginine for heart health if you are eating a protein rich diet?

    Why take glutamine for intestinal repair and ulcer relief if you are eating a protein rich diet?

    Why take lysine for cold sores if you are eating a protein rich diet?

    Why take tryptophan to help you sleep if you are eating a protein rich diet?

    Should I go on?

    ok, so why do we eat protein then?

    we might as well buy bottles of each of the 20 amino acids and take them individually.

    Oh god...really? LMAOOOOO

    Do you actually not know?

    Have you read ANY of my posts. Of course you need protein, but the digestion of protein versus free form amino acids is completely different. They are metabolised and utilized differently in the body. You said BCAA's were useless if you eat a lot of protein. I explained with MANY examples how free form amino's work for SPECIFIC conditions or ailments or to perform specific functions within the body...from that your ignorantly concluded now that I would suggest we dont need to eat protein?

    This is getting embarrassing really.

    you know they found a deep space meteor that had 92 or so amino acids never seen on earth on it. Interesting ay??

    What if we start taking them in abundance?
    haha
