    Product Description

    Hexahydrohippuric acid is a derivative of the amino acid glycine.1 It has been found in mammalian urine and is formed by gut microbiota from shikimic acid (Item No. 26851) derived from plants in the diet followed by conjugation to glycine.1 Hexahydrohippuric acid is also a metabolite of cyclohexanecarboxylate, which is also a product of shikimate metabolism.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
