Why Advanced Amino Formula Has 8 Amino Acids, Not 9

The product's eight-amino-acid formulation versus the standard nutritional classification of nine essential amino acids in adults.

The standard list has nine

In adult human nutrition, the commonly recognized essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.

The product lists eight

Advanced Amino Formula omits histidine from its named blend. The merchant argues that histidine need not be supplied in this formulation. We present that as the merchant's position, not as a replacement for the standard nutritional classification. This is exactly the sort of label-level distinction a shopper should understand before buying.
