amino acid

[NYreefNoob]

anyone ever notice how the amino suppliment smells just like the amino's that weight lifters use, almost wondering if it is the same thing

Most likely the same thing..

there are more than 300 identified amino acids in organic chemistry and only 20 of which are commonly found in human cells ... commonly referred to as the essential amino acids ... which energy drinks and muscle building formulas contain ... and yes, although our common fish supplements/foods' label would say that it contains amino acids (without being specific of which ones) ... its probably the SAME a.a. that we use (ie histadine, glycine, and alanine to name a few)

FYI: amino acids are found in proteins (so when the label reads "protein 58.2%" without mentioning "amino acids" ... you can assume there are amino acids in there linked by peptide bonds) all working together to make our marine/reef system nice a strong!!!
