What really interest me the most is the fact that a biochemist gave an in-depth explanation about the Essential amino acids "These are the nine amino acids that your body cannot create on its own, and that you must obtain by eating various foods. Adults need to eat foods that contain the following eight amino acids: methionine, valine, tryptophan, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, threonine and phenylalanine. Histidine, the ninth amino acid, is only necessary for babies." OLOFIN Ademola {The Biochemist}
