Asparaginic Acid, Alpha-Aminosuccinic Acid
Description
Aspartic acid aids in cell function and the function of RNA and DNA, which carry our genetic information. This amino acid is important for metabolism, increases stamina, and reduces fatigue. It protects the central nervous system by expelling harmful ammonia from the body. This substance becomes highly toxic when it enters our circulatory. Aspartic acid increases the production of certain immune system proteins, particularly immunoglobulins and antibodies.
