[NEWS] "Sports Amino Acid Day" (October 2022, 10) has been established by the Japan Anniversary Association!
Starting in 2022, the Japan Anniversary Association has designated the day before "Sports Day" (the second Monday in October) as "Sports Amino Acid Day" (this year it is October 10th).
In recent years, there has been growing awareness of health through sports, and the percentage of adults taking part in sports is increasing. However, understanding of the value of amino acids in sports is not yet sufficient.
Proteins, which make up 20% of our bodies, are made up of 20 types of amino acids. The need for amino acids increases during exercise. In addition, amino acid compositions that perform specific functions in sports can contribute to everyone who plays sports, from world-class athletes to those who train daily to improve their health.
Under these circumstances, since October 2020, this website has been providing information on sports and amino acids, with the hope that everyone involved in sports will understand the value of amino acids and live a more comfortable sports life. Going forward, this website will continue to contribute to solving your "food and health" challenges by providing information on amino acids and sports.
