What are amino acids simple definition?

Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed in several internal functions of the Body. They are classified as "essential" or "non-essential", with essential amino acids meaning they cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied in the diet to maintain good all-round health. Amino acids can be further used by the body to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient carriers. L-Theanine however does not fall within either the essential or non-essential categories because it is not common in the diet and cannot be made by the body. It has a chemical structure similar to a neurotransmitter type of amino acid, glutamine, which naturally occurs in the body. 

What foods are high in amino acids?

Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese and eggs.
