Proteins (or) are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, and transporting molecules from one location to another.

Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which usually results in protein folding into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines its activity.

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (NH2) and carboxyl (COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, though other elements are found in the side chains of certain amino acids.

About 500 amino acids are known (though only 20 appear in the genetic code) and can be classified in many ways.

They can be classified according to the core structural functional groups' locations as alpha- (α), beta- (β), gamma- (γ) or delta- (δ) amino acids; other categories relate to polarity, pH level, and side chain group type (aliphatic, acyclic, aromatic, containing hydroxyl or sulfur, etc).

In the form of proteins, amino acids comprise the second-largest component (water is the largest) of human muscles, cells and other tissues.

Outside proteins, amino acids perform critical roles in processes such as neurotransmitter transport and biosynthesis.

A sugar substitute is a food additive that provides a sweet taste like that of sugar while containing significantly less food energy.

Some sugar substitutes are produced by nature, and others produced synthetically.

Those that are not produced by nature are, in general, called artificial sweeteners.

A dietary supplement is intended to provide nutrients that may otherwise not be consumed in sufficient quantities.

An extract is a substance made by extracting a part of a raw material, often by using a solvent such as ethanol or water.

Extracts may be sold as tinctures or in powder form.
