What does it do?

L-glutamic acid is one of the amino acids that make up proteins and plays an important role in the body. It is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for nutritional support and amino acid supplementation. It is especially administered as an injection to help maintain the body's amino acid balance.

L-glutamic acid provides the materials needed for protein synthesis in the body. It is also used as an energy source and helps maintain and recover cell function. This supports the recovery of patients with poor nutritional status.
