Amino Acid

hi all i am back again with a question. hope all is working hard, and fine.

well recently i was thinking of Amino acid pills.uptill now i am not taking the required protein daily need. i am taking protein shake but it only gives me 21g of protein. i was thinking of taking these pills. any idea about them ?. are they good? i heard that they hurt the liver and kidneys. my goal is to prevent the muscle breakdown while i am losing weight. i want to lose just fat. i dont want to lose fat and muscles. 

thank you all for your help. you guys my biggest help in my journy 

I add BCAA (branched chain amino acids) to my water every day.  I'm not sure if it helps, but it doesn't hurt.  (Well, one brand hurt because it had too much B6 and caused my values to skyrocket.)

Weight training will also help.  But there's nothing you can do to "only" lose fat and not any muscle.  

hi Gwen

my protein shake is good for 21g of protein ??. do you take the Amino Acid other than your protein shake because it does contain amino acids ??

Protein is made up of amino acids. There are nine (some surces list other amounts) amino acids that you must get from food. Whey protein found in shakes includes all of them. Amino acid capsules usually have one or two, sometimes a few. Your best bet is to get your protein from food or shakes.

Lifting heavy weights will help preserve muscle mass, but no pill or supplement can.
