Aspartic acid, also known as aspartic acid, is a α-amino acid, the L-isomer of aspartic acid is one of the 20 protein amino acids, that is, the building unit of protein, its codons are GAU and GAC. It is an acidic amino acid with glutamic acid. It belongs to one of the non-essential amino acids in the human body. Aspartic acid is ubiquitous in biosynthesis. It is a synthetic precursor of amino acids such as lysine, threonine, isoleucine, methionine and purine and pyrimidine bases in living organisms. It can be used as a carrier of K+ and Mg2+ ions to deliver electrolytes to the myocardium, thereby improving myocardial contractility and reducing oxygen consumption, which has a protective effect on myocardium in coronary circulatory disorders and hypoxia. It participates in the ornithine cycle, promotes the production of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide, reduces the amount of nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the blood, enhances liver function, and eliminates fatigue.
