Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The body can produce some amino acids itself, while essential amino acids must be obtained through the diet. A complete amino acid profile provides all essential amino acids in appropriate proportions.

This is important for building and maintaining muscles and other tissues. In addition to the amino acid profile, the total amount of protein consumed each day also matters. The dietitian will assess whether the prescribed amount of Nuvacal 1.3 provides sufficient protein for the patient.
