Nutritionists that I have spoken to over the years have mentioned that although it should be safe to take amino acid supplements at the levels recommended on the product's label, it is far better to take in high-quality protein through your diet and have your body do the amino acid conversion on it's own.

Like anything else, check with your doctor for approval.

protein is all well and good, but if you don't have the digestive enzymes to DIGEST this protein, it is of no use to you and may even cause digestive/bowel distress. An amino prep may help alleviate this.

To chillin408: Like sternrad said, there are a number which are ESSENTIAL, and ARE NOT produced by the body. Therefore, where but from food or supplements are you going to get these?
