Aspartic Acid

• Aspartic acid is part of the Krebs cycle, helping the body convert carbs, fats, and proteins into ATP (energy).
• May help reduce fatigue and improve muscle endurance during workouts.
• Useful for high-intensity sports like sprinting, soccer, and gymnastics.

✅ Best for athletes needing sustained energy and reduced fatigue.

• D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) is linked to testosterone production and is sometimes used as a natural testosterone booster.
• However, research is mixed—some studies show a temporary increase in testosterone, while others show no significant effect in trained athletes.
• More beneficial for older individuals or those with low testosterone, but less effective in young, healthy athletes.

✅ May help with strength and muscle growth in some cases, but not a game-changer for young athletes.

• Aspartic Acid acts as a neurotransmitter, supporting brain function, memory, and mental clarity.
• Helps regulate NMDA receptors, which are important for learning and focus.

✅ Good for athletes needing quick decision-making and focus (e.g., soccer, gymnastics, sprinting).

• Helps clear ammonia from the body, reducing muscle fatigue and soreness.
• Plays a role in DNA and RNA synthesis, which supports muscle repair and growth.

✅ Useful for athletes who train intensely and need faster recovery.

✅ Athletes who need sustained energy & endurance (soccer, sprinting, gymnastics).
✅ People looking to improve brain function & focus.
✅ Individuals recovering from intense training.
✅ Older men or those with low testosterone levels (DAA form only).

• L-Aspartic Acid: Naturally found in foods like meat, fish, eggs, and soy. No need to supplement unless deficient.
• D-Aspartic Acid (DAA):
  • 2–3g per day for potential testosterone support.
  • Works best when cycled (e.g., 2 weeks on, 1 week off).
