They are amino acids that are found only in plant proteins. They are amino acids that cannot be made in the body and must be obtained from the diet. They are amino acids that your body makes under normal circumstances, but when one has certain deficiencies and disorders, the body can no longer produce them and they must be obtained from the diet.
