Histidine

Histidine is a semi-essential amino acid with CAS # 71-00-1. It is considered semi-essential because the body requires adequate dietary intake to avoid depleting other essential amino acids needed for its synthesis. In the body, it plays an important role in regulating immune defense, allergic reactions, and inflammatory processes.
