L-Histidine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of L-Histidine, an essential amino acid that is used to build proteins in the body. Its chemical formula is C6H9N3O2·HCl. L-Histidine HCl is commonly used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer, and it is also used in some pharmaceutical and medical applications. Like L-Histidine base, L-Histidine HCl is important for the growth and repair of tissues, the production of red and white blood cells, and the synthesis of histamine. It also plays a role in the maintenance of the myelin sheath around nerve cells. L-Histidine HCl supplements are sometimes used to treat certain medical conditions, but should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
