This document summarizes key amino acids and their functions. It lists 9 essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. For each amino acid, it provides a brief description of their roles in growth, tissue repair, enzyme production, and other vital bodily processes. It also notes good food sources of each amino acid and potential deficiencies or toxicities that can result from too little or too much of certain amino acids.
