Aspartic Acid Benefits
Article navigation
Aspartic acids's benefits include:
- Aspartic acid plays a part in DNA and RNA creation
The body relies on aspartic acid as one of the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Aspartic acid, along with glycine, glutamine, serine and vitamin co-factors are used by the body to make DNA and RNA bases. - Ammonia detoxification from the liver
Aspartic acid helps the liver by removing excess ammonia. Aspartic acid combines with other amino acids to form molecules that bonds with the ammonia, absorb toxins and remove them from the bloodstream
Aspartic acid helps to increase stamina and helps to reduce fatigue
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
Aspartic acid increases stamina, it is good for reducing fatigue. Chronic fatigue syndrome may result from low levels of aspartic acid which can lead to lowered cellular energy
