Asparagine is a non-essential amino acid, which means your body can synthesize it, and dietary intake is not always required. It plays vital roles in multiple physiological functions including:
Protein synthesis as a fundamental building block of proteins and peptides
Metabolism and synthesis of other amino acids, carbohydrates, and nucleotides
Supporting the central nervous system function by serving as a neurotransmitter precursor enabling effective nerve cell communication
Adequate asparagine contributes to balanced metabolic processes and healthy neural function.
Rich dietary sources of asparagine include: asparagus, legumes, dairy products, poultry, seafood, nuts.
