Overview of L-Glutamic Acid

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.

Explore other amino acids and food-grade ingredients that complement L-Glutamic Acid and L-Arginine, a semi-essential amino acid used in nutritional supplements for cardiovascular and immune support. Additionally, consider L-Cysteine, an amino acid widely used in bakery, hair care products, and as a dough conditioner.
