Amino acids

Buy amino acids online in Switzerland

Amino acids are natural components of proteins. Proteins are found in many foods and consist of individual amino acids, which form different protein structures depending on their combination. At VITALOVE, you’ll find a selection of amino acids as dietary supplements, such as glycine, L-arginine, L-glutamine, L-ornithine and L-carnitine.

These products are suitable for people who take a conscious approach to their diet and wish to specifically supplement their intake of individual amino acids. Depending on the product, they are available as powders or capsules. This allows you to choose the form that best suits your daily routine.

What are amino acids?

Amino acids are often described as the building blocks of proteins. In terms of nutrition, they play a key role, particularly in relation to protein. Protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, pulses, nuts, seeds and plant-based protein sources provide a variety of amino acids.

Overall, there are various amino acids found in proteins. They differ in their structure and in whether they must be obtained through diet or can be produced by the body itself. For dietary supplements, it is therefore important to know which specific amino acids are contained and how they are dosed.

Essential and non-essential amino acids

Amino acids are often categorised into essential, non-essential and conditionally essential amino acids. Essential amino acids must be obtained through the diet because the body cannot produce them itself. The body can produce non-essential amino acids itself. Conditionally essential amino acids may play a more significant role in certain life situations.

Essential amino acids include, for example, leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine, threonine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and histidine. Individual amino acids such as glycine, L-arginine, L-glutamine, L-ornithine or L-carnitine are often specifically chosen when a particular supplement is to be incorporated into a person’s dietary routine.

Amino acids in the diet

Amino acids occur naturally in protein-rich foods. Animal protein sources such as eggs, fish, meat and dairy products contain various amino acids. Plant-based sources such as pulses, nuts, seeds, grains and plant-based protein powders can also contribute to your protein intake.

Those following a vegan or vegetarian diet often take particular care to ensure a varied selection of protein sources. In this context, plant-based proteins or selected amino acid products may also be of interest. The key is always to ensure that the product suits your diet and your personal preferences.

Choosing amino acids wisely

When buying amino acids, it’s worth taking a close look at the product details. Pay attention to the exact name of the amino acid, the dosage per serving, the list of ingredients, whether it’s suitable for vegans, any additives and the recommended intake.

If you’re already using protein powder, collagen, creatine or other dietary supplements, you should choose your combination carefully. The form of administration also plays a role: powder is versatile, whilst capsules are practical and tasteless. This allows you to integrate amino acids seamlessly into your daily routine.
