Description

L-Lysine Hydrate is an essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis, growth, and metabolic function in humans and animals. Its high bioavailability and purity make it a vital nutritional additive and a key building block in various biochemical processes. This product is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the animal feed, food fortification, and pharmaceutical industries to enhance nutritional profiles and support health.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: A critical component in poultry, swine, and aquaculture feed to promote growth, improve feed efficiency, and support optimal health, as lysine is often the limiting amino acid in cereal-based diets.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich cereals, baked goods, and nutritional supplements, addressing dietary deficiencies and enhancing the protein quality of food products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key raw material in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intravenous nutritional solutions (parenteral nutrition).
• Cell Culture Media: An essential nutrient component in media formulations for biopharmaceutical production, including monoclonal antibodies and vaccines.
• Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into protein powders, amino acid blends, and health supplements aimed at athletes, bodybuilders, and individuals with specific nutritional needs.

Quality Control

Our L-Lysine Hydrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for feed, food, and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, optical rotation, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended long-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C).
