Amino acids. We hear so much about them, yet most of us know so little. We know they are good for us and they help our bodies, and that’s about the extent of most people’s knowledge. Well, when we created our Thinco® Diet Capsules, we did the research for you — and that’s exactly why so many essential and nonessential amino acids play a key role in our formula.

So, Amino Acids: Why Should I Care?

We could get very technical here. Amino acids make up the proteins we need for our bodies to function properly. Proteins are so important that they’re often considered the building blocks of life. If the components that make up these blocks aren’t in good shape, how well do you think the building will hold up to daily life?

Finding a dietary supplement with the right combination of the right amino acids is especially important, because our bodies can only produce 10 of the 20 essential amino acids. The other 10 have to come from a person’s diet. Researchers have found that even a deficiency of just one of the 10 essential amino acids can cause a breakdown of the body’s proteins as it tries to reap the benefits of that specific component. The supplements must be taken daily, too, since your body doesn’t keep any extra.
