Hello Doctor,
I've been hearing a lot about amino acids and their benefits for overall health. Can you tell me what the recommended daily dosage of amino acids is for women to support optimal health? I’m trying to make sure I’m taking the right amount.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. The recommended daily dosage of amino acids can vary depending on factors such as your age, activity level, and overall health. There are nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own, which must be obtained through diet or supplements.
2. These include leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and histidine.
3. For most healthy women, a balanced diet that includes protein-rich foods like meat, fish, eggs, and legumes usually provides adequate amino acids.
4. However, if you're physically active, pregnant, or have specific health concerns, you might need more. It’s important to speak with a healthcare provider or nutritionist to determine the right amount based on your individual needs.
Thanks
