    Product Description

    DL-3-Aminoisobutyric acid is a non-proteinogenic amino acid formed during valine and thymine catabolism.1,2 It decreases blood pressure in Dahl salt-sensitive rats fed a high-salt diet.3 Saliva levels of DL-3-aminoisobutyric acid are increased in patients with head and neck cancer.4

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
