Description

L-pyroglutamic acid is an amino acid that occurs naturally in the body. It is present in the brain, spinal fluid, skin and blood.

Pyroglutamic acid is a derivative of the body’s abundant amino acid glutamine. The change from glutamic acid to pyroglutamic acid occurs in the body through the activity of an enzyme. It wasn’t discovered until 1882, when scientists heated glutamic acid to 180 degrees Celsius. The heating process resulted in a loss of one water molecule, changing it from glutamine to pyroglutamic acid.

You can find pyroglutamic acid in plants and in various foods. It’s also becoming more widely available as a supplement or as an ingredient in supplements.

Pyroglutamic acid is in products labeled “cognitive enhancing.” Because it helps maintain essential levels of acetylcholine, GABA and glycine — three key brain neurotransmitters. Pyroglutamic acid supplements could enhance memory, cognitive ability and more .
