Aspartic acid has a very beneficial effect on the human body. She takes part in the synthesis of such essential amino acids as threonine and methionine. Acid plays a crucial role in removing harmful substances from the body, in the activity of RNA and DNA, in the metabolism and synthesis of immunoglobulins.
Aspartic acid is widely used in sports nutrition with increased physical exertion. The daily dose necessary for the normal functioning of all systems and organs is 6 mg. Aspartic acid is found in large quantities in the germinated seeds of cereal plants. Other names for the substance are aminobandionic or amino succinic acid, as well as aspart. Acid is in the body as part of proteins and in free form. It is concentrated mainly in the brain and can significantly enhance neurological activity. With depression, the amount of amino acid decreases significantly, and with epilepsy increases.
Aspartic acid is often part of multicomponent preparations designed to strengthen the nervous system and treat mood disorders. Amino acid is present in all protein-containing products, it is often used as an artificial sweetener.
Regular use of acid is not recommended especially for children, because their nervous system is particularly vulnerable. Most often, aspartic acid is used to strengthen weakened immunity and to treat depression. This substance effectively removes residual decomposition products of chemicals and drugs from the liver, increases working capacity and strengthens the vitality of the body. D-aspartic acid is actively involved in the absorption of minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium asparagine.
The largest amount of amino acid is found in soy products, eggs, fish and meat. Asparagine is a critical substance in the proliferation and growth of leukemia cells in some forms of lymphoid leukemia. The enzyme L-asparaginase of microbial origin, which disrupts the conversion of asparagine to acid and vice versa, has a particularly strong cytostatic effect.
L-aspartic acid and its salts are widely used as components
medications. For example, Asparakam is widely used in the treatment of
cardiovascular disorders. Moreover, in addition to the distribution of nitrogen
substances in the body, the acid neutralizes ammonia by attaching to its
the composition of the toxic molecule. Turning as a result of this into a non-toxic
urea, this harmless compound is completely eliminated from the body.
L-Aspartic acid enters into the reaction of glucogenesis, turning in the liver into glucose, which is especially important during heavy physical exertion. The substance is involved in the synthesis of pyramidine and purine nucleotides, as well as the biosynthesis of anserine and carnosine, which are essential amino acids. Aspartic acid is, along with glutamic acid, the best energy source for the central nervous system and brain. As a result of taking magnesium and potassium salts of aspartic acid, the physical endurance of the body noticeably increases, the work of the heart muscle improves.
In Russia, aspartic acid is produced in the form of Asparacan tablets, which are used in large enough doses in sports nutrition. The good news is that when redundant, the amino acid turns into glucose. Endogenous aspartic and glutamic acid cannot be replaced with anything, so their intake is vital.
