Category: amino-acid

Aliases: Asp, D, Aspartic acid, L-Aspartate, D-Aspartic acid

L-Aspartate is an excitatory neurotransmitter and NMDA receptor co-agonist. TCA-cycle intermediate via oxaloacetate. D-aspartic acid stimulates hypothalamic GnRH release → transient LH/FSH rise → acute testosterone spike; clinical durability unclear.
