Expanded and in the same order as above:

Bengali Medical Mnemonics for Essential Amino Acids

“আইরিন ও তৃষা মিরপুরে ভাল লাল লাল থ্রী পিস পেয়েছে”

আইরিন = Isoleucine

তৃষা = Tryptophan

মিরপুরে = Methionine

ভাল = Valine

লাল = Leucine

 

লাল = Lysine

থ্রীপিস = Threonine

পেয়েছে = Phenylalanine

This Mnemonic is given by my room mate “Dr. Ankur Sarkar“. Heartiest thanks to him.

Arginine And Histidine are considered as Semi Essential Amino Acids.
