Amino Acid Research

The papers listed below are research projects either sponsored or conducted by Ajinomoto. The objective is either to show the role of an individual amino acid in the body or explore the potential for future use. We would like to motivate additional interest in amino acids and pave the way for even more research.

None of these papers should be interpreted as making a medical or drug claim. In the United States, amino acids are considered dietary supplements. As such, amino acids do not cure, treat, mitigate, or prevent a disease state or medical condition. For more information, please contact Ajinomoto through the Contact Us section of this web site.
