AMINO ACIDS

Amino acids are the basis of life, the building blocks of peptides and proteins. Lack of amino acids leads to disruption of the body. If there is a deficiency of amino acids or an increased need for them, additional quantities are required, which are administered in the form of dietary supplements. The review examines the effect of amino acids on protein synthesis, muscles, and the brain, and also discusses the concept of amino acid compositions for sports, improving brain activity, and with specified properties, the composition of which is aimed at specific organs and systems of the body.

Peptides are a family of substances whose molecules consist of amino acid residues.

Peptides are called structural components (fragments) of proteins that are formed at various stages of their metabolism in the body, in particular, after ingestion as part of food or nutritional supplements. In addition, they are synthesized inside the body in the process of biochemical transformations of amino acids.

Peptides are one of the newest trends in clinical and sports nutrition.

As scientific studies have shown, after entering the body, protein molecules are sequentially split as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract: first to large fragments, then to medium and small (short) and, finally, to individual amino acids.

Until a certain time, it was believed that only amino acids are absorbed from the intestines into the blood after digestion (acid and enzymatic cleavage). However, it turned out that short fragments of proteins (proteins) are also able to be transported from the intestinal lumen to the blood and lymph, affecting all organs and systems of the body.
