L-Histidine, provided by Douglas Labs, supplies 500 mg of the amino
acid in each capsule. L-Histidine is thought to play important roles in
proper joint, neurological and cardiovascular support.
Amino acids have many functions in the body. They are the building
blocks for all body proteins, which are structural proteins that build
muscle, connective tissues, bones and other structures, and functional
proteins in the form of thousands of metabolically active enzymes.
Amino acids provide the body with the nitrogen that is essential for growth and maintenance of all tissues and structures.
Proteins and amino acids also serve as a source of energy, providing
about 4 calories per gram. Aside from these general functions,
individual amino acids also have specific functions in many aspects of
human physiology and biochemistry.
Amino acids serve as precursors for many nitrogenous substances. These
include heme, purines, pyrimidines, hormones, and neuro-transmitters,
including biologically active peptides.
In addition, many proteins contain amino acids that have been modified
for a specific function, e.g., calcium binding or collagen
cross-linking. L-Histidine is thought to play important roles in proper
joint, neurological and cardiovascular support.
