L-Histidine is a semi-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis, hemoglobin structure, immune response, and neurotransmitter regulation. It serves as a precursor to histamine and plays an important role in growth, tissue repair, and metabolic processes.
L-Histidine is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations, nutraceutical supplements, medical nutrition products, and animal feed for metabolic balance, immune support, and nutritional therapy.
