Hippuric acid (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving Hippuric acid. Hippuric acid (2-Benzamidoacetic acid) is an acyl glycine formed by the conjugation of benzoic acid with glycine. Hippuric acid) is a normal component of urine and is typically increased with increased consumption of phenolic compounds (tea, wine, fruit juices). These phenols are converted to benzoic acid which is then converted to hippuric acid and excreted in the urine.
