Why is it necessary to take food supplements for certain amino acids ?

Dear student,   
Please find below the solution to the asked query   

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. These are the compounds in which a basic group (NH2) and an acidic group (COOH) are simultaneously joined to the same carbon atom.
Out of these 20, eight are essential for humans as the body cannot produce them by themselves, and they have to be supplied externally by taking food supplements available for these.
The remaining twelve are non essential amino acids and can be produced by our body.
