proteins can be composed. The body is able to produce most of the amino acids.
However, 10 amino acids are essential, this means they have to be taken with
the food. These are: leucine, lysine, valine, phenylaline, methionine,
histidine, tryptophane, arginine, threonine, and isoleucine. Amino acids are
