Amino Acids & Copper Compound

There are 20 amino acids which are important for our health. These can be divided into two groups, the essential and non-essential. Essential amino acids are those which are not produced by the body itself and you can only obtain them through foods and supplements whilst the non-essential are produced by your body. Amino acids act as water binding agents and work with aquaporins in order to transport moisture through the skin, improving skin hydration and barrier function for an overall healthy appearance. Some amino acids work as antioxidants, protecting the skin from free radical damage and reducing the signs of ageing. Each amino acid has its own individual benefits but there are studies which state they work best when combined.
