The nine essential amino acids for humans are: histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and isoleucine, leucine, and valine. In turn, isoleucine, leucine, and valine are known as branched chain amino acids, or BCAAs .

Amino acids are the basis of life, since they are essential for all metabolic processes. Among its functions we find the transport of nutrients to the cell, the strategic storage of nutrients such as water, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins and minerals.
