There is no precise number of essential amino acids, but the usual numbers given are nine or ten.
The following nine must be in the diet:
histidine
isoleucine
leucine
lysine
methionine
phenylalanine
threonine
tryptophan
valine
In addition, children need arginine in their diet, as they do not make as much as they need.
Some individuals may have further dietary requirements. For example, people with phenylketonuria are unable to convert phenylalanine into tyrosine, and therefore need tyrosine in their diet.
