General

What is D-Aspartic Acid? It is one of two D-amino acids commonly found in mammals. Apart from a few rare exceptions, D-aspartic acid is not used for protein synthesis but is incorporated into some peptides and plays a role as a neurotransmitter/neuromodulator.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality D-Aspartic Acid, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Frequent Uses

Biological Research
D-Aspartic Acid is investigated for its potential to increase testosterone production in men, which could be relevant for addressing fertility issues or muscle growth. Its influence on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which plays a crucial role in hormone production, is also a focus of research. 

Microbiology Research
Can be used in cell culture media to support the growth of various cell lines.
