Non-essential amino acids
The non-essential amino acids are those which may be synthesized within the body and are not mandatory within the diet. They include:
- alanine
- arginine
- aspartate
- glutamate
- glycine
- proline
- serine
As cysteine and tyrosine require the presence of methionine and phenylalanine respectively, they may be considered as non-essential amino acids only if their precursors are available within the diet.
