The completeness of proteins in the body

20 different amino acids are responsible for protein synthesis in the body. Of these, 12 may be synthesized in our body (endogenous), and the remaining 8 should be supplied with food (exogenous). The latter include phenylalanine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, walina, tryptophan, leucine and treonine. A mixture of amino acids from various food products in the course of digestion and absorption processes is used for protein synthesis.
