D-Aspartic Acid | 300 capsules | German Elite Nutrition

D-Aspartic Acid from German Elite Nutrition

D-aspartic acid is an amino acid mostly found in the bodybuilding world. German Elite Nutrition offers it pure, with 1150 mg per capsule and 3450 mg per daily dose of three capsules. Aside from that, it contains nothing but the amino acid itself and the capsule shell. One jar contains 300 capsules, enough for one hundred doses. On this page, you will find factual information about what D-aspartic acid is, how it functions in your body, and what research does and does not say about it.

What D-Aspartic Acid Exactly Is

Aspartic acid is an amino acid that exists in two mirror-image forms: the L-form and the D-form. These two forms are mirror images of each other, much like your left and right hand. Your body uses the L-form extensively for protein synthesis. The D-form, D-aspartic acid, is more peculiar: it is one of the few D-amino acids found naturally in mammalian bodies, especially in nervous tissue and hormone-related tissues. In supplements, the pure D-form is used, and that is exactly what these capsules contain. Aspartic acid is also found in food, especially in protein-rich products, but then mainly in the L-form. The concentrated D-form as in this supplement is not simply found in a regular meal.

Its Place in Your Amino Acid and Protein Metabolism

Amino acids are the building blocks from which your body makes proteins. Aspartic acid is a link that plays a role in several places. It is a building block for other amino acids and components of your DNA, and it plays a role in the citric acid cycle, the process by which your cells release energy from food. D-aspartic acid also acts as a signaling molecule in the nervous system and in hormone-producing tissues. This sounds technical, but in short: it is not a foreign substance to your body, but a molecule that connects to a number of basic processes. For example, it serves as a building block for other amino acids and components of your genetic material. Without amino acids like aspartic acid, your body could not make proteins, and proteins are found in virtually all tissues, from muscles to enzymes. This makes it a part of the normal functioning of your cells, not something exotic. We cannot and do not want to do more than provide a factual description.

What Research Neutrally Says About It

Many people search online for what D-aspartic acid does. Let's be honest: studies show a mixed picture. In studies, a dose of about 2.6 to 3 grams per day was most often used, sometimes more. A daily dose of three capsules, at 3450 mg, just exceeds this common range. What is striking is that D-aspartic acid is often used in cycles, over periods of a few weeks rather than continuously. The reason people opt for a cycle is that some studies suggest that the body adapts over time. Whether this is accurate and what exactly it implies is not scientifically unequivocal, and the reaction also differs from person to person. For D-aspartic acid, there is no EU-approved health claim, so we deliberately make no claims about effects on this page. What we can say: you know exactly what you are taking and in what quantity.

Pure, Highly Dosed, and the Capsule

This formula is kept as lean as possible. Each capsule contains only D-aspartic acid, without fillers or colorants. With 1150 mg per capsule, the dosage is on the high side, so with three capsules you already reach a full daily dose. Good to know: the capsule shell is made from bovine gelatin. This product is therefore not suitable if you eat vegan or vegetarian, nor is it halal or kosher. This transparency is part of it, because you want to know what you're getting into beforehand. For those who prefer a vegetable capsule, this is not the right choice; for those looking for pure and highly dosed D-aspartic acid, it fits well. At three capsules per day, one jar will last you well over a month in continuous use, and longer when used in cycles.

In summary: D-aspartic acid is an amino acid that plays a role in your metabolism and is best known to bodybuilders. German Elite Nutrition offers it pure and highly dosed, with 300 capsules in a jar for several cycles. What it means for you, you determine yourself based on factual information. If you have any doubts, or if you are already using other supplements or medications? Then consult your doctor first.
