Dietary Supplement L-Serine Capsule CAS 56-45-1
Products Description
L-Serine is an amino acid which supports neuron proliferation and health. It also supports the production of purines, pyrimdines, and important amino acids such as Tryptophan, L-Cystine, and Glycine. L-Serine also supports the proliferation and maintenance of new cells. While the body does produce some L-Serine, it does not do so in high enough quantities to meet all the body’s demand for it so an external supply from diet or supplementation is recommended.

Function
- Nervous System Health: L-Serine is an important component in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and glutamate, which may help support nervous system function and health.
- Promotes Cognitive Function: Some research suggests that L-Serine may help improve memory, learning ability, and overall cognitive function, especially in older adults and people with cognitive impairment.
- Supports Muscle Health: As an amino acid, L-Serine plays an important role in protein synthesis and may aid in muscle growth and repair.
- Participate in metabolic processes: L-Serine participates in a variety of metabolic processes in the body, including the synthesis of lipids and nucleotides, and is essential for the normal function of cells.
- Possible antidepressant effects: Some preliminary research suggests that L-Serine may have some relief from depressive symptoms, but more research is needed to confirm this.
- Supports the Immune System: L-Serine may play a role in the immune response and help maintain a healthy immune system.
Recommended Usage
- For general use as a supplement, our recommended L-Serine dosage is 2000 mg per day. (4x 500 mg capsules.) L-Serine is water soluble and so does not need to be taken with food. It is often used in the evening, as it has a beneficial effect on sleep quality.
- While we typically don’t recommend a dosage of over 6,000 mg per day there have been studies showing its safe use at dosages as high as 15,000 mg per day. We recommend avoiding doses this high as there is a much higher potential for side effects.
