Glossaryglutamic acid

amino acid crucial for protein synthesis and brain function

Glutamic acid is an amino acid that plays a crucial role in the body's metabolism and is a key building block of proteins. It is also an important neurotransmitter in the brain, involved in cognitive functions like learning and memory. In the context of hair and alopecia, glutamic acid is essential for the synthesis of keratin, the protein that makes up hair, and its deficiency can impact hair health.
