Description

Glutamic acid is an amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It is an excitatory neurotransmitter, in fact the most abundant one, in the vertebrate nervous system.

Amino acids are broken down into two categories: essential and non-essential. Your body can’t produce essential amino acids, of which there are nine. While you can produce non-essential amino acids. Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid. However, as you age or if you’re performing very strenuous exercises, consuming external sources of glutamic acid can be beneficial. Glutamic acid has become a must-have in many pre-workout protein blends. But, it’s not just your performance that can benefit but your brain and heart too.

Your body naturally produces glutamic acid. Everyday roughly 80g of glutamic acid is released into the body from the muscles. Your muscles are the main storage site of this amino acid. The human body is able to produce glutamine from glutamic acid. In particular, your muscles need glutamine quickly to perform during exercise. This is why it’s so important to have a good supply of glutamic acid and glutamine in the body if you’re bodybuilding or just strength training . Glutamic acid supports an active lifestyle.
