Glutamic Acid 500 mg 100 Capsules[Discontinue]

Glutamic acid is beneficial for the maintenance of good prostate health, muscle recovery, and brain function.  Glutamic acid is a nonessential amino acid used by the body to manufacture human protein, a vital component of all the body’s cells. This amino acid is labeled “nonessential” because, when the acids are lacking in the diet, the body can manufacture them. All nonessential amino acids must be on-hand before the body can synthesize protein; several have additional, more specialized roles as well. Glutamic acid is biosynthesized from a number of amino acids, including ornithine and arginine. When aminated, glutamic acid forms the important amino acid glutamine. Because it has a carboxylic acid moiety (functional group) on the side chain, glutamic acid is one of only two amino acids (the other being aspartic acid) that has a net negative charge at physiological pH. This negative charge makes glutamic acid a very polar molecule, and it is usually found on the outside of proteins and enzymes, where it is free to interact with the aqueous intracellular surroundings.
