Amino acids

Amino acids serve as building blocks for proteins in the body. They are therefore involved in numerous vital processes and fulfil important functions. However, the body cannot produce many amino acids itself, so they must be obtained in sufficient quantities through food. To support this, you can purchase amino acids from us as high-quality dietary supplements.

Amino acids: important for muscle building and hormone production

The body needs 20 amino acids to build proteins. Nine of these are essential. This means that your body cannot produce these amino acids itself, and you must therefore cover your requirements through your diet. For this reason, a balanced diet is important for the body. However, many people find it difficult to meet their essential amino acid requirements through their diet. In such cases, taking amino acids in capsule or powder form can be a practical supplement.

Taking amino acids: Not only helpful for endurance sports

Amino acids are the basic building blocks of protein and are therefore indispensable for numerous processes in the human body. These processes range from building new cells to regeneration after exercise. According to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), adults need 0.83 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. For a person weighing 70 kg, this corresponds to a requirement of 58 g of protein per day, which is made up of a combination of different amino acids.


In practice, however, it is often difficult to meet this requirement through diet alone, especially with an active lifestyle, stress or increased energy consumption. In addition, the body must first break down the essential amino acids from foods such as meat, eggs or legumes before it can utilise them.


Amino acids in capsule or powder form offer a clear advantage here: they are already in free form, so they can be absorbed quickly. Our products are highly dosed, carefully manufactured and support a targeted supply of essential amino acids, whether for promoting muscle building, regeneration or general health. At Herbano, you will find a wide range of premium dietary supplements to optimally meet your individual needs.

Capsules or powder: buy high-dose dietary supplements online

One of the most important amino acids is lysine, which plays a crucial role in muscle building, wound healing and the immune system. With our high-dose L-lysine capsules, you can easily and reliably meet your daily requirements. Many of our customers incorporate lysine as an integral part of their nutritional routine, especially during times of increased physical or mental stress.


Another popular product is Herbano's spermidine capsules. Spermidine is not a classic amino acid, but a naturally occurring compound of several amino groups that is being intensively researched in connection with cell protection and healthy ageing. Studies indicate that spermidine can support processes such as autophagy, the natural cleansing of cells. This property is particularly important for the protection of nerve cells and cell regeneration. As spermidine levels in the body decline with age, many people choose to supplement their diet with a high-quality supplement.


Our products are free from unnecessary additives, laboratory tested and offer an effective way to naturally supply the body with important nutrients.

Frequently asked questions about our amino acids

Amino acids are found in both animal and plant-based foods. Meat, fish, eggs and dairy products are sources of essential amino acids. However, legumes, whole grains and seeds are also rich in amino acids. This means that vegans can also meet their needs through a balanced diet. Any additional intake should be discussed with a doctor.
There are various groups of people with an increased need for amino acids. These include athletes who regularly engage in endurance and strength training. However, pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as growing adolescents may also have a higher need. Whether supplementation is advisable should be clarified on an individual basis.
Essential and non-essential amino acids differ in terms of whether the body can produce them or not. Essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body. Non-essential amino acids, on the other hand, are produced by your body itself. These include arginine, glycine and taurine. In certain situations, however, supplementation with non-essential amino acids may also be advisable.
A deficiency of amino acids can lead to health problems, as they are involved in many important bodily functions. Typical deficiency symptoms can include increased fatigue, a feeling of weakness or a loss of performance. The exact deficiency symptoms depend on which amino acid is deficient. A medical examination can provide clarity.
