Aspartic acid
Aspartic acid has a verybeneficial effect on the human body. It 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 insports nutrition with increased physical exertion. The daily dose required for the normal functioning of all systems and organs is 6 mg. Aspartic acid is found in large quantities in sprouted seeds of cereal plants. Other names of the substance are amino-amidonic or amino succinic acid, as well as asparagus. Acid is in the body in the composition of proteins and in a free form. It is concentrated, mainly in the brain and can significantly enhance neurologic activity. With depression, the amount of amino acid is significantly reduced, and with epilepsy increases.
Aspartic acid is often includedmulticomponent drugs designed to strengthen the nervous system and treat mood disorders. Amino acid is present in all protein-containing foods, it is often used as an artificial sweetener.
Regular use of acid is not recommended.especially 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 from the liver the residual products of the disintegration of chemicals and medicines, increases efficiency and strengthens the vital forces of the body. D-aspartic acid takes an active part in the assimilation of minerals such as magnesium asparagine, potassium and calcium.
The greatest amount of amino acid is contained insoy products, eggs, fish and meat. Asparagine is a critical substance in the proliferation and growth of leukemic cells in the disease of certain forms of lymphocytic leukemia. Especially strong cytostatic influence is exerted by the enzyme L-asparaginase of microbial origin, which disrupts the conversion of asparagine into an acid and vice versa.
L-aspartic acid and its salts are widely used as components
drugs. For example, "Asparakam" is widely used in the treatment
cardiovascular disorders. Moreover, in addition to the distribution of nitrogenous
substances in the body, the acid detoxifies ammonia by attaching to its
composition of a toxic molecule. Turning as a result of this into non-toxic
urea, this harmless compound is completely eliminated from the body.
L-Aspartic acid enters into the reactionglucose, turning in the liver into glucose, which is especially important for heavy physical exertion. The substance takes part in the synthesis of pyramidin and purine nucleotides, as well as the biosynthesis of anserine and carnosine, which are essential amino acids. Aspartic acid is along with glutamine the best energy supplier for the central nervous system and brain. As a result of the intake of magnesium and potassium salts of aspartic acid, physical endurance of the organism is markedly increased, and the work of the heart muscle improves.
In Russia, aspartic acid is released in the form oftablets "Asparakan", which in sports nutrition are used in fairly large doses. The positive point is that the amino acid turns into glucose when redundant. Endogenous aspartic and glutamic acid can not be replaced by anything, so taking them is vital.
