What does it do?

Glutamic acid is one of the amino acids that make up proteins and plays an important metabolic role in the body. In pharmaceuticals, it is mainly used for nutritional supplementation and supporting metabolic function. It is particularly utilized in intravenous injection form for nutritional supply.

Glutamic acid is used as an energy source in the body and helps with cellular metabolic activities. It also acts as a nitrogen carrier, contributing to protein synthesis and maintaining immune function. This supports the recovery of patients with a compromised nutritional status.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
