Exploring the Impact of Amino Acids on Brain Health and Mental Clarity
Protein is fundamentally important to health and is essential for the maintenance of bones, muscles and skin, plus is required to build tissues and synthesize hormones, enzymes and even neurotransmitters so are clearly required for the maintenance of all of the body's systems. Protein is made up of amino acids (i.e. the building blocks of protein), which is why getting enough essential amino acids via diet is critical to maintaining optimal health and wellness. Most proteins contain a series of up to 20 different amino acids, which each play very distinct roles inside the body and benefit brain health.
These twenty amino acids can be divided into two categories: essential and non-essential. Non-essential amino acids are the ones the body can make, while the essential ones, we cannot synthesize. The 9 essential amino acids are isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, histidine, and valine.
Amino Acid Benefits for Brain Health
While amino acids are most often associated with the gym crowd and sports nutrition, in reality, many amino acids are critical to healthy cognitive function, concentration and focus, as well as neurotransmitter production and balance. Many amino acids such as tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine are the biosynthetic precursors for key neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine; therefore, supplementation can directly influence neurotransmitter balance, cognitive functioning and mood.

Who Needs Amino Acids for Brain Health & Concentration?
An amino acid supplement, either featuring a blend of amino’s, or one amino in isolated form, may be recommended to those with a very restrictive diet, to help prevent deficiency, and/or to mitigate brain-related symptoms such as memory loss and difficulty concentrating. Brain-supportive amino acids may also be recommended to those with Alzheimer's disease to slow the rate of disease progression, improve memory and improve certain measures of mental function and behaviour.
Choosing the Best Amino Acid Supplements for Optimal Brain Wellness
Amino acids are sold in isolated form, as standalone supplements, in combination blends with other aminos, or in many instances, along with other vital nutrients like vitamins, minerals, medicinal herbs and adaptogenic plants or mushrooms. They can be purchased in capsules, tablets, or powders, and even in liquid form, in many different potencies according to the formulation.
Concluding Insights on Amino Acids for Brain Health and Concentration
Given the wide variety of options when it comes to amino acid supplements, it’s important to always follow label instructions carefully. This being, said, the general rules below apply to most amino acid formulas:
- Taking a single amino acid for an extended period can throw off your overall amino acid balance, so it's best to reserve isolated amino acid supplements for short-term use.
- Amino acids should usually be taken on an empty stomach for maximum absorption, either one hour before or two hours after a meal.
Long-term amino acid supplementation can cause nausea, headache and pain, and can impact blood sugar metabolism.
