Tag: Conditional amino acid

Arginine is classified as a semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that while the body can produce it, certain factors like illness, stress, or rapid growth can increase its demand beyond what the body can supply. In such cases, obtaining arginine from external sources, like diet or supplements, becomes necessary.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body, playing a crucial role in vital functions from the immune system to intestinal health. It is classified as a "conditionally essential" amino acid, meaning that while the body can produce it, supplemental intake may be necessary during times of severe stress, injury, or illness.
