L-Histidine

Food-grade L-histidine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes within the body. As a building block of proteins, L-histidine is involved in the formation of histamine, a neurotransmitter that regulates immune responses and contributes to the inflammatory process. L-histidine is found in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, dairy, and certain grains. As a food-grade supplement, L-histidine undergoes strict quality control measures to ensure its safety and effectiveness. While the body can synthesize histidine to some extent, its dietary intake remains essential for maintaining optimal health. L-histidine is a less common amino acid to supplement individually but is often included in complete amino acid formulations or protein supplements, contributing to the overall amino acid profile necessary for various physiological functions.
