  2. Bodybuilding supplement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodybuilding_supplement

    The sources of protein are as follows and differ in protein quality depending on their amino acid profile and digestibility: Whey protein contains high levels of all the essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids. It also has the highest content of the amino acid cysteine, which aids in the biosynthesis of glutathione.

  3. Protein supplement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_supplement

    Protein supplements are extracts or concentrates of high protein foodstuffs, used in bodybuilding and as dietary supplements to fulfill protein intake in a lean and pure source of proteins and amino acids. They have three main variants: concentrate (food is taken and concentrated into a smaller volume with some fat and carb present), isolate ...

  4. Amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

    Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. [1] Although over 500 amino acids exist in nature, by far the most important are the 22 α-amino acids incorporated into proteins. [2] Only these 22 appear in the genetic code of life. [3] [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_(nutrient)

    Most peptides longer than four amino acids are not absorbed. Absorption into the intestinal absorptive cells is not the end. There, most of the peptides are broken into single amino acids. Absorption of the amino acids and their derivatives into which dietary protein is degraded is done by the gastrointestinal tract.

  7. Creatine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatine

    It is an amino acid derivative, naturally produced in the human body from the amino acids glycine and arginine, with an additional requirement for S-Adenosyl methionine (a derivative of methionine) to catalyze the transformation of guanidinoacetate to creatine.

    Cortisol decreases amino acid uptake by muscle and inhibits protein synthesis. [65] Current recommendations suggest that bodybuilders should consume 25–30% of protein per total calorie intake to further their goal of maintaining and improving their body composition. [66]

  9. Branched-chain amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branched-chain_amino_acid

    A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is an amino acid having an aliphatic side-chain with a branch (a central carbon atom bound to three or more carbon atoms). Among the proteinogenic amino acids, there are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. [1] Non-proteinogenic BCAAs include 2-aminoisobutyric acid and alloisoleucine. Leucine ...
