Description

L-Aspartic acid is an amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and DNA repair. It has been shown to activate the TRPV1 receptor, which is involved in pain sensation and thermoregulation. L-Aspartic acid has also been studied for its potential therapeutic effects on Alzheimer's disease, as it may inhibit the formation of amyloid beta plaques in the brain. Additionally, L-Aspartic acid has been used as a substrate for DNA ligase, an enzyme that joins together two strands of DNA. This amino acid is also found in plants such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts, where it contributes to the formation of glucosinolates. Studies have shown that L-Aspartic acid can enhance neuronal imaging and improve cognitive function when combined with compounds such as capsaicin or cycloastragenol. Furthermore, polygodial, a compound found in certain plants, has been shown to interact with L-Aspartic acid
