amino acids are very important in every athlete, especially after exercise, they are the building blocks for muscle repair, as with exercise your muscles fibres tear, and when rebuilt by the amino acid(proteins) they become bigger and stronger

Amino acids are the chemical substances that make up protein in muscle, it you train then you need to replace these but you can overdose and cause health problems if you feed to much protein, I am sure this would apply to pigeons and most other animals :-/

Amino Acids are the building blocks which make proteins. There are 22, each combination of 4? makes a different type of protein. The reverse is also true, when body digests protein, it breaks it down to amino acids.

 

Amino Acids are considered two groups, 10 essential, 12 nonessential. The body can make 12 of these 22, the other 10 must be supplied in food.

 

The 10 Essential Amino Acids are:-

Arginine , Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about them Ally, the last time questions on them cropped up on the forum, I checked Feed to Win Part2, pp96/97 and found all 10 are contained in all the grains we normally feed our doos, including peas, barley, oats, maize, peanuts, rice, dari, wheat, sunflower. No much chance of them not getting all they need.

Thanks Frank, he is a cracker, always been a bit of a favourite, bred for me by malky Brown in Arrochar. Looked the part since the day I collected him at 4 or 5 week old.

Got a shock reading about salmonella, a bacteria, a fairly simple organism you would think, yet just one of its proteins is composed of 300 amino acids!! Thought I was reading that wrong, so cross-checked with Wiki: gobsmacked, a single protein (muscle) has 27,000 amino acids.

 

Sorry if I misled some in my earlier post into thinking proteins were fairly simple things, composed of just a few amino acids. Clearly, they're not.

is sedochol not a amino acid complex

amino acids are what build the body,, they make the cells metabolise into new cells, in humans the body makes them from the diet and are essential. amino acids include protein fibre and carbs

[DOVEScot]

There is no simple answer to amino acids; Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disorder that causes a build up of the amino acid phenylalanine, which is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized in the body but is present in food. Excess phenylalanine is normally converted to tyrosine, another amino acid, and eliminated from the body. Without the enzyme that converts it to tyrosine, phenylalanine builds up in the blood and is toxic to the brain, causing intellectual disability. :-/
