What do Amino Acids contribute to the body?

In a colloquial way, we could say that amino acids are the building blocks or bricks in our body, as they produce the proteins that will improve our muscle mass.

Table of contents

Types of amino acids you can buy at HSN

There are a total of 20 different types of amino acids, all of which function by binding together in the body.

Depending on their source, there are two distinct groups or families of amino acids:

  • Essential: They cannot be generated by the body, so we must provide them through our daily diet. There are 9 essential amino acids in total, with branched-chain amino acids or BCAA being one of them.
  • Non-essential: There are 11 of them and their main characteristic is that the body is able to produce them by itself. One of them is L-glutamine, which can also promote weight loss by increasing fat burning and boosting muscle development.

You can find them all at HSN, in products made with the best raw materials and under the highest quality standards. Our customer reviews are always positive.

Types of amino acids in HSN
Branched amino acids

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA)

Known as medium-chain amino acids, branched-chain amino acids, or BCAAs, they're made up of the essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine.

These are the amino acids most frequently used by athletes. They can be taken both before and after training to fight against wear and tear.

Branched amino acids are also among the best weight gainers. They have a large amount of fast-releasing protein and simple carbohydrates, which facilitate a rapid release of amino acids into the muscles.

Some amino acids, in combination with carbohydrates, improve the minimal protein-forming structures, accelerate muscle growth and support the production of HGH, making them highly anabolic.

Glutamine

Glutamine

L-glutamine is the amino acid that is present in the greatest quantities in our muscle mass.

It's considered non-essential, as the body itself is capable of generating it, albeit in very small amounts. In this sense, it's important to consume glutamine through the diet or as a supplement, such as sports bars.

Essential Amino Acids

Essential Amino Acids (EAA)

We've already seen what the 9 essential amino acids are all about and that the body doesn't generate them by itself, meaning we have to provide them through food or powdered supplements.

Supplements based on the 9 EAAs are available to support athletes. A combination of these amino acids with carbohydrates, caffeine and electrolytes is an intra-workout supplement that helps to improve athletic performance.

The advantage of EAA supplements is that they contain all the essential amino acids, but they can be also combined with BCAAs, as these only contain the 3 most important essential amino acids.

Isolated amino acids

Isolated

These are supplements that have a single amino acid in their composition, making them ideal for managing the intake of each of the 20 amino acids independently.

The HSN RawSeries line is the ideal brand for you if you're looking for supplements based on independent and pure compounds.

Tryptophan

Tryptophan

It's one of the 9 essential amino acids, as our body does not have the capacity to create it on its own.

The RawSeries line is perfect if you're looking for a 100% pure isolated amino acid.

HMB

HMB

Known as beta-hydroxy beta-methybutyrate, it's a compound that is generated from the breakdown of the essential amino acid L-leucine.

Beta Alanine

Beta Alanine

One of the most popular amino acids among athletes, the β-amino acid form of Alanine. Its inclusion in pre-workout supplements increases the presence of amino acids in the bloodstream.

Arginine

Arginine

A non-essential amino acid that fulfils different functions in the body, so its intake from the diet or supplements is of interest.

Other

Among the complete list of amino acids you can find in the HSN online store are: L-histidine, L-lysine, L-phenylalanine and glycine.

All of them are available in a pure, raw format, which means you can select the combination that best suits your goals. In addition, as we manufacture it ourselves, the price is the lowest you'll find on the market.

When should I take amino acid supplements?

If you are an athlete, you can take amino acids before, during and after training. The ideal is to combine them daily with proteins to strengthen the muscular and immunological base. In all HSN product formulas that meet the pre-, intra- and post-training periods, objectives and results, you will find amino acids, due to their functions in the human organism. To ensure a good supply of branched-chain amino acids we should take them immediately after sport or, failing that, we can resort to a post-training recovery that contains them.

Why buy amino acids at HSN?

The price of amino acid supplements varies greatly, depending on various factors such as
the type of raw material used, the quantity of product, the manufacturing process, the format, etc.

Unlike other brands, at HSN we choose the best raw materials on the market. Bearing in mind that we are manufacturers and we sell directly to the end consumer, we maintain a policy of commercial margins which means that you can obtain our products with excellent quality at an incredible price.

Frequently asked questions from our customers

Amino acids are ingested through the diet and are therefore safe.

Natural amino acids are the 20 essential and non-essential amino acids that make up proteins in the body.

As we have already seen, they can be generated in the body or must be ingested through food or supplements.

In our shop, leader in sports nutrition in Spain, you have available a wide range of amino acids, in powder format and formulated with quality ingredients, ideal to complete your diet and achieve your goals.

We ingest them in small amounts through our diet, so their safety is high.

Athletes should take amino acids according to their goals. They can be consumed before, during and/or after training.

This is one of the myths surrounding proteins and amino acids. Their consumption is safe, as long as they are taken in optimal quantities. Our recommendation is to always follow the manufacturer's specific instructions.
