Definition
Protein is comprised of 20 amino acids and 9 of them your body doesn’t produce — you must get them from food. These are called essential amino acids and include Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, and Valine. Collagen is missing the essential amino acid Tryptophan.
