Amino acids are ubiquitous to Earth's carbon based life forms, but are also formed in space. The first to be identified was glycine in 1994 in the molecular cloud Saggitarius B2. Right polarized UV light, such as is thought to exist in the Orion Nebula, where other wavelengths of polarized light can be detected, is able to break down right handed molecules, leaving left handed ones, the kind used exclusively in terrestrial life. We are children of a living universe.
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Protein is essential for life. All essential amino acids must be present simultaneously to properly synthesize protein and thereby facilitate cell repair.
Full spectrum sources include free-range eggs as one of the best amino acid sources, especially when boiled or poached, so that they are not oxidized in cooking. Raw eggs should be dipped in boiling water briefly so that Vitamin B12 is not destroyed by avidin binding. Katuk is one of the best vegetable protein sources, being grown in Africa now to prevent starvation. Predigested proteins are another excellent source, including One Step, Medipro, Hydrolyzed Whey Lactalbumin, and whitefish protein (SeaCure). Free form amino acids are also available individually and in combinations for specific therapeutic purposes, including neurotransmitter repletion.
