There are a lot of sports supplements that are just extractions of amino acids found in protein, and some of the major ones are:
L-Glutamine
All three BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine)
HMB and Leucic acid (both metabolites of leucine)
These amino acids are great and all, but you don’t need to supplement them if you ingest enough protein. This is because the protein you are taking will give you more than enough glutamine and BCAAs, and leucine will convert into its metabolites in your body.
Still, there are some other amino acids to consider:
Some amino acids, like l-carnitine and taurine, are not highly present in protein and so supplementation could still be considered despite high dietary protein intake.
HMB for the specific purpose of anti-catabolism is apparently 20-fold more potent than leucine, so a 3g dosage of HMB is as anti-catabolic as 60g leucine. HMB can be a very useful supplement when cutting.
The supplements mentioned earlier can be useful as supplements if your diet has gone down the toilet.
