>Essential amino acids are those which the body cannot synthesise on its own, meaning that we must acquire it through diet. Non-essential amino acids are those which the body can synthesise in large amounts. Conditionally essential amino acids are those amino acids which can be synthesised by the body, but not always in large enough amounts required, especially during childhood.

>The non-essential amino acids are alanine, aspartate, asparagine, glutamate, serine. The conditionally essential amino acids are proline, arginine, glycine, cysteine, glutamine, and tyrosine. The essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

Another excellent and important column on diet and health, Brian. You're doing good in the world.
I have a small correction for you: The body CAN make several amino acids (the "non-essential" amino acids; non-essential because they don't have to be obtained through diet). From https://greek.doctor/second-year/biochemistry-1/lectures/14-synthesis-of-non-essential-amino-acids/ --
