D-Aspartic Acid Supplements

Most people are familiar with 'L' amino acids like L-arginine and L-glutamine, but not too many people know about 'D' amino acids. The truth is the body accepts 'L' and 'D' amino acids and they have completely different functions in the body. 'D' amino are not as common as 'L' amino acids because when 'D' amino acids were first discovered, back in 1959, they did studies on both types of aminos and found that some 'D' amino acids were harmful to the body and didn't see how the body was using the ones that weren't. This caused 'D' amino acids to put on the back burner because 'L' amino acids were much more readily used by muscle tissue.

Here of late, more studies have came out on the use of D-aspartic acid. L-aspartic acid is found in most ZMA products and has a slight impact on testosterone. Well when they tried D-aspartic acid out they found that it directly stimulated the pituitary glad, your main hormone production organ. The effect was that the pituitary glad started excreting more luteinizing hormone which is involved in the indirect production of testosterone. In males, luteinizing hormone stimulates cells in the testes to secrete testosterone.

By stimulating the luteinizing hormone you are causing your body to produce more testosterone. This is the best way to go about elevating testosterone levels. When you put a hormone in your body your own hormone production will stop and the side effects will start to come on. When you get your body to do the hormone producing, you are preventing any serious side effects. Some studies have shown that DAA has elevated testosterone 40%. This number may not seem that high from what other products claim, but this is due to the fact that most other supplements test on older men whose testosterone is already low. The study on DAA was done on 20 year old men!

This goes to show that there are better ways to elevate testosterone that to take androgenic ***. DAA is a safe amino acid that has profound impacts on your hormone levels. DAA is fairly new so not a lot of products include this ingredient. Some include Hard FX, the new Propadrol, and NMDA.
