Why excess amino acids cannot be stored in the body?

Excess amino acids cannot be stored in the body because unlike fats and carbohydrates, there is no specialized storage form for amino acids. Instead, the body must convert them into energy, store them as fat, or excrete them through the urine. Thus, any surplus amino acids are not efficiently retained in the body.
