Aspartate sources
« on: June 30, 2021, 07:14:42 AM »
I'm trying to hunt down an Aspartate source. Supplements with Ornithine tend to make me very tired, so I was curious as to whether L-Aspartic Acid would fit the bill? I saw someone linked to D-Aspartic Acid on the discord previously, and that you suggested against it, but the product below seems to be the L isomer.

What do you reckon Joshua?

Yes, given that l-ornithine l-aspartate appears to have gotten quite popular and seems to be out of stock everywhere, this looks like a sensible option.

I think "SHOPAPP" gives 20% off still..

HEPA-MERZ in EU is another (expensive) option.

I've been wondering about this, too.

I don't think the L isomer versus an R isomer would be as functional. I really don't know if they work equally well in re-supplying Aspartate to the reactions necessary.

I had thought about going after the Mg / Potassium Aspartate's as a replacement given the inability to source LOLA, but so many of those have other forms of Potassium / Mg compounds. And, calculating Aspartate dosing from the mix is possible, but a bit of a pain.

Luckily I found a source thru Walmart's network

D-aspartic acid has a very different biological action. Someone here did try that out once and the comment was that it was similar to consuming a large dose of MSG.

L-aspartate has functions for protein synthesis. 
D-aspartic acid can provide benefits for hormone synthesis.. It also has an acute relationship with NMDA receptors.
