Meats have all the essential amino acids. Plant proteins are considered incomplete because they do not.

The amino acids are: glycine,alanine, phenylalanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, methionine,serine, threonine, aspargine,glutamine,cysteine, cystine, hydroxyproline,tyrosine, thyroxine, tryptophan,lysine, hydroxylysine, arginine, histidine, 3,5dibromotyrosine aspartic acid, glutamic acid.

The human body can synthesis all but 8 of these. Essential are:
phe,val,leu,ile,met, thr,try,lys,tryptophan and a questionable arginine and histidine

There are 22 amino acids that commonly make up proteins. If your bottle has that number on the label, then you've got them. In the 22, there are some pairs that only count once, because they're interconvertable: glutamic acid and glutamine, aspartic acid and asparagine, cystine and cysteine.
