What is it about?
Agmatine is a natural dietary ingredient with superior neuroprotective properties. The study provides evidence showing that agmatine sulfate is not toxic at the cellular level.: It did not cause mutations in bacteria (using the Ames test). It did not cause changes in chromosomes (using a chromosomal aberration test with Chinese Hamster lung cells). And it lacked toxic effects on the cell nucleus following oral administration in mice.

Why is it important?
Taken together with previously published data, results of the present study further support the safety of agmatine sulfate as a dietary ingredient.
Perspectives
The cumulative evidence now clearly indicates that the dietary ingredient agmatine sulfate can be generally regarded as safe under the conditions of its intended use as a food additive.
