Aspartic acid is an amino acid commonly found as a component in total parenteral nutrition.
Aspartic acid is an amino acid commonly found as a component in total parenteral nutrition.
There are also claims that L-aspartate has ergogenic effects, that it enhances performance in both prolonged exercise and short intensive exercise. It is hypothesized that L-aspartate, especially the potassium magnesium aspartate salt, spares stores of muscle glycogen and/or promotes a faster rate of glycogen resynthesis during exercise. It has also been hypothesized that L-aspartate can enhance short intensive exercise by serving as a substrate for energy production in the Krebs cycle and for stimulating the purine nucleotide cycle.
There is no support for the claim that aspartates are exercise performance enhancers, i.e. ergogenic aids.
