Buy Amino Acids – L-Arginine, EAA & More

Q: What are amino acids important for?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and, as such, fundamental organic compounds in the body. A distinction is made between essential amino acids, which are obtained through food, and non-essential ones, which the body produces itself. Popular single amino acids such as L-arginine, L-glutamine or L-tryptophan are used in a targeted way, often in the context of sport and nutrition.

Q: What does the free L-form mean?

The L-form is the natural, body-identical configuration of amino acids, the same form found in proteins. Free means the amino acid is present in isolation, not bound within a protein. Fermentation produces highly pure, isolated substances in exactly this free L-form, with no animal-derived starting materials.

Q: What forms do amino acids come in?

Amino acids are offered as capsules, powder or tablets, either as a single amino acid such as L-arginine or L-glutamine, or as a ready-made complex of several amino acids. Powders are well suited to flexible dosing, capsules to easy intake. At Scheunengut, you'll find single amino acids and complexes, vegan and lab-tested.

Buy Amino Acids – Individual Amino Acids & Complexes in Tested Quality

Amino acids are the chemical building blocks of proteins and belong to the organic compounds featuring an amino and a carboxyl group. A distinction is made between essential amino acids, which the body takes in through food, and non-essential ones, which it produces itself. In this category, you'll find individual amino acids such as L-arginine, L-glutamine or L-tryptophan as well as ready-made complexes from Scheunengut – vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Amino acids for supplements are today mostly obtained through fermentation: microorganisms convert plant-based raw materials such as maize or sugar cane into the respective amino acid. This produces isolated, highly pure substances in the free L-form, without any animal-derived starting materials.

Standardisation & Format

Amino acids are offered as capsules, powder or tablets, often with a defined milligram amount per serving. Common options are single amino acids as well as EAA complexes (all eight essential amino acids) and BCAAs. They combine sensibly with B vitamins or magnesium.

What to Look for When Buying

Transparently declared content per amino acid in milligrams
Free L-form from plant-based fermentation
Vegan and without unnecessary additives
Independently lab-tested purity
