Amino acids are known as the building blocks of protein, as proteins are essentially long chains of amino acids joined together. The body needs 20 different amino acids to function correctly, they all have similar structures but are differentiated by their side chains.

A simple way of understanding the complex nature of amino acids is by thinking of them as letters of the alphabet. When letters are combined in different ways, you create different words. When amino acids are combined in various ways, we create different proteins.

Stress is a normal and common physiological reaction to new experiences or challenging situations. Stress causes both mental and physical responses in the body. One of the most important functional responses is the release of certain substances called stress hormones.

These hormones including cortisol and adrenalin stimulate physical changes in the human body, which then help the individual to respond to the stressful experience they are faced with. Although acute stress is a normal part of life, chronic stress can be severely detrimental to health and wellbeing.
