What difference can amino acids make?

Consider tryptophan, the least common amino acid in a typical diet. Even someone on a high protein diet gets less than 1.5 grams a day. What's more, once ingested, tryptophan undergoes a complicated process that dramatically reduces the amount actually absorbed by your body. In fact, some experts estimate it's as little as one percent. That's sufficient for some people, but for others that low level can adversely affect sleep, weight and mood.

Low levels of other essential amino acids can affect a wide variety of other processes in your body as well—from how your hair grows to how quickly your body recovers from hard exercise.
