Description

Acetyl-L-glutamine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is synthesized by the body and can be found in various foods. It has been shown to have many beneficial effects, such as the prevention of bowel disease. Acetyl-L-glutamine has also been shown to stimulate the production of neurotrophic factors, which are proteins that promote neuron growth and survival. This amino acid is used in therapy groups for people with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Acetyl-L-glutamine may be effective against acute brain injury or stroke due to its ability to increase neuronal survival and inhibit neuronal death. The therapeutic effect of acetyl-L-glutamine on neuronal death may be due to its ability to inhibit apoptosis by preventing reactive oxygen species from binding to DNA. Acetyl-L-glutamine also promotes nerve cell growth and protects against damage caused by ischemia-reperf
