What is L-histidine 500mg?

L-histidine 500mg by EssentialSeries a food supplement in vegetable capsules, based on the amino acid L-histidine obtained through a vegetable fermentation process.

L-histidine is a nutritionally indispensable amino acid, which is why our body lacks the capacity to synthesise it endogenously and must be supplied through the diet.

L-Histidine 500mg is 100% suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Why buy L-histidine 500mg at HSN?

No, not all amino acids are the same. Don't miss it!

Vegetable amino acid

Amino acids used in food supplements are traditionally obtained from the processing of animal derivatives, usually from poultry feathers.

Obviously this presents a clear ethical conflict for people who are vegetarian or vegan.

About a decade ago, work began in Asia on techniques for obtaining isolated and purified amino acids from the fermentation of plant sources rich in sugars.

Today, this technology has advanced and allows us to obtain pure, powdered amino acids, without traces of other nutrients, from vegetables, reducing the ecological footprint and allowing their use by vegetarians.

Vegetable capsules

Have you noticed that vegan amino acids are not normally sold in capsules?

This is because among food supplement companies the most widespread ingredient for the production of capsules is gelatine of bovine origin.

This is produced from the chemical treatment of collagen-rich tissues of animals, disabling the use of any such capsules by vegetarians.

L-Histidine 500mg is 100% suitable for use in vegetarian and vegan diets.

How can we combine L-histidine 500mg?

Combine it with Beta-alanine 1000mg; you can also use it in combination with other vitamins like vitamin C, vitamin E, or our vitamins B complex.
