Description :
L-Glutamic Acid is a natural essential amino acid that has a white and crystalline appearance. It is a key component in protein synthesis and metabolism of cells, and acts as a neurotransmitter of significant importance in the human brain. Its name comes from its sour taste. It's widely used in food production as monosodium glutamate (MSG) to boost umami flavor in processed foods, plus in medicines and supplements. L-Glutamic Acid aids brain function, heart health, prostate care, and skin moisture. It also treats issues like fatigue, epilepsy, and chemotherapy side effects.
