Amino Acids

Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of proteins and play a crucial role in many biological functions: muscle building, neurotransmitter production, immune support and physical recovery. At Herba Barona, your specialist shop in Paris, we offer 41 amino-acid-based supplements selected for their purity and bioavailability. Whether you’re an athlete, a vegetarian or simply mindful of your health, amino acids are indispensable allies for optimizing how your body functions.

Our team is waiting for you at 10 rue Théophile Roussel, Paris, to guide you in choosing the amino acids most relevant to your goals.

Our amino acid selection

• BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids): leucine, isoleucine and valine form the essential trio for muscle recovery and athletic performance. Available in powder and capsule form from Now Foods, or as a 4:1:1 powder from the French brand Nutrimuscle.
• L-Glutamine: the most abundant amino acid in the body, essential for gut health, immunity and post-exercise recovery.
• L-Carnitine: helps transport fatty acids to the mitochondria for energy production. A valuable ally for weight management and vitality.
• L-Tyrosine: a precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine, this amino acid improves focus, motivation and resistance to stress.
• Glycine: an amino acid with calming properties that improves sleep quality and supports collagen synthesis.
• L-Arginine: a precursor to nitric oxide, it improves blood circulation, physical performance and erectile function.

Amino acids: who are they for, and why?

Amino acid supplementation isn’t just for athletes and bodybuilders. Many Parisians benefit from targeted amino acid supplementation: vegetarians and vegans who may lack certain essential amino acids, stressed individuals who deplete their tyrosine and tryptophan reserves, seniors losing muscle mass, and people recovering from illness who need to rebuild their tissues.

At Herba Barona, we help you identify the amino acids you need most based on your diet, physical activity and symptoms. This personalized approach ensures effective and economical supplementation.

Pure, bioavailable formulas

We only select free-form amino acids, directly absorbable by the body without requiring prior digestion. Our partner brands guarantee products free of unnecessary additives, non-GMO and tested for purity. Some formulas are enriched with B vitamins to optimize amino acid metabolism. In the Nutripure range, for example, BCAAs are obtained by fermenting non-GMO corn, and glycine and L-tryptophan are both available as single-ingredient products.
