What D-aspartic acid is

Aspartic acid is an amino acid that exists in two mirror-image forms, L and D. The L form is the one found in most dietary protein. The D form occurs in much smaller amounts in the body, and it is the form sold on its own as DAA. Sports nutrition brands usually sell it at about 3 g a day, which is the amount in one scoop of this tub.

About the zinc

Zinc bisglycinate is zinc bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Albion is the company that makes this chelate, and its name on the label identifies the source. One scoop gives 20 mg of zinc. If you already take a multivitamin or a separate zinc product, add up the zinc from each before adding this one.

How to take it

The label directions are for adult males 19 and older: mix one scoop with 150 mL (5 fl oz) of cold water or juice and take one scoop daily, with food, a few hours before or after other medications or natural health products. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 4 weeks. There are no non-medicinal ingredients and no flavour, so the scoop goes into whatever you already drink. Keep the lid closed so the powder stays dry.

Who it suits

Men 19 and older who train and want D-aspartic acid and zinc in one unflavoured scoop, and athletes in tested sport who look for the Informed Choice mark on the front of the tub. The front also states zero artificial colours, flavours and sweeteners. It is produced in a facility that also handles milk, soy and fish (collagen).
