D-Aspartic Acid by Max's

What is D-Aspartic Acid?

D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) is a naturally occurring amino acid found in the body, especially in the endocrine system(hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and testes). Unlike L-Aspartic Acid (the form found in proteins), DAA plays a regulatory role in hormone production—particularly testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH).

⚡ Key Benefits & Uses

1. Testosterone Support

• DAA has been shown in some studies to increase testosterone levels, particularly in men with low baseline testosterone.

• It stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals the testes to produce more testosterone.

• However, effects appear short-term (1–2 weeks) and may plateau with longer use.

2. Fertility & Sperm Quality

• Some evidence suggests DAA may improve sperm quality and motility, making it a potential aid for male fertility.

3. Sports Performance & Muscle Growth

• Often included in testosterone-boosting supplements marketed to athletes or bodybuilders.

• May indirectly support muscle strength and growth if testosterone is elevated.

• Evidence is mixed—some studies show no significant improvements in strength or hypertrophy in resistance-trained men.

4. Cognitive Role

• DAA may act as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator, influencing learning and memory, though this area is less researched.
