L-histidine is an essential amino acid and one of the 23 proteinogenic amino acids. It has an imidazole functional group, which is typical for an aromatic amino acid. It is involved in the formation of proteins and influences several of the metabolic reactions in the body.
L-histidine plays a role in the regulation of growth and contributes to the formation of blood cells. Children in particular should ensure a sufficient supply of this vital substance, as a deficiency can lead to growth problems. Furthermore, nutritional supplements containing L-histidine are very helpful during the recovery process after an operation or injury, as it supports the healing process and encourages the regeneration of tissue. This semi-essential amino acid has also already proven its worth in the treatment of certain illnesses and can, among other things, reduce the severity of kidney failure and help prevent heart attacks.
