L-Aspartic Acid(Cat No.:R022289), is one of the 20 natural amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins in living organisms. It is an essential amino acid for humans, meaning it must be obtained through the diet, as the body cannot synthesize it on its own. L-aspartic acid plays crucial roles in various biological processes, including protein synthesis, neurotransmitter production, and energy metabolism. It is also involved in the urea cycle, which helps eliminate excess nitrogen from the body. Additionally, L-aspartic acid is used as a food additive, often found in artificial sweeteners like aspartame.
