What will be an ideal response? Title: Does the source of amino acids (e.g., animal or plant) matter? Is one healthier than the other? ... Post by: acolegado on Jan 21, 2018 Whether amino acids come from animal or plant sources makes little difference from a nutritional standpoint. From a health standpoint, amino acids from plant sources are often accompanied by fiber, carbohydrates, phytochemicals, and generally healthy fats whereas amino acids from animal sources are usually accompanied by unhealthy fats like saturated fat (a major exception is seafood). Therefore, plant-based protein often has some health advantages over animal based protein.
