Now on to today's mnemonic.

And the mnemonic for the nine essential amino acids is My Hilltop TV.

And with the my, that's spelt a little bit differently.

It's M-I, and we take both of those letters.

Hilltop is spelt normally, and we take all of the consonants.

The two vowels are assisting.

And TV, we take both of those letters.

So for this one, you picture yourself on a hilltop with a giant TV watching the latest animated movie on the nine amazing amino acids.

So we'll get into it.

For the my, we take the M for methionine and the I, isoleucine.

Hilltop, we take the H for histidine, the I as a cysteine, the first L, leucine, and the second L, lysine.

Top, we take the T for tryptophan, the O as a cysteine, and the P, phenylalanine.

And the TV, we take the T for threonine and the V, valine.

And we'll just go over that one more time.

So that's the mnemonic for the nine essential amino acids.

And the mnemonic is MyHilltopTV.

For the my, we take the M for methionine and the I, isoleucine.

Hilltop, we take the H for histidine, the I as a cysteine, the first L, leucine, and the second L, lysine.

Top, we take the T for tryptophan, the L as a cysteine, and the P, phenylalanine.

And the TV, we take the T for threonine, and the V for valine.
