Glutamic Acid (Glutamate)
Posted on 2005-12-30 20:01:01 in Amino Acids |
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid that the body uses to build proteins. It can be obtained from eating meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products. ROLE FOR ANTI-AGING: The fluid produced by the prostate gland contains significant amounts of glutamic acid. This has led scientists to believe that glutamic acid may play a role in the normal functioning of the prostate. Continue reading…
