D-Aspartic Acid Details

D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) is an amino acid that is naturally found in high quantities in the reproductive organs, hypothalamus and pituitary. Through a Same dependent, methyl-transferase reaction called NMDA sythethetase, D-Aspartic Acid is converted into N-Methyl-D-Aspartate, which is a potent stimulator of the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor pathway. D-Aspartate is found in the hypothalamus, pituitary and testis in extremely high quantities during periods of heightened physical and sexual maturation.

D-Aspartic Acid Function

D-Aspartic acid is one of two forms of the amino acid Aspartic Acid. Unlike its naturally occurring counterpart, no food offers pure D-Aspartic acid, but rather a blend of both forms (D- and L-). D-Aspartic acid is able to increase testosterone levels in healthy men according to a recent study, and seems to do so by both neurological and testicular methods which are synergistic. It also has other notable hormonal effects, as a metabolic by-product of D-Aspartic Acid is a regulator of growth hormone secretion and is intimately involved in Melatonin secretion rates.
