Description

Sodium Dl-Methionate is the sodium salt of methionine, a sulfur-containing amino acid essential for numerous biochemical processes. This compound is valued for its enhanced solubility and bioavailability compared to the free acid form, making it a critical component in formulations requiring precise nutrient delivery. It serves as a key raw material and intermediate for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty animal feed industries seeking reliable, high-purity amino acid sources.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and parenteral nutrition solutions where methionine supplementation is required.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into vitamin-mineral premixes, protein powders, and clinical nutrition products as a bioavailable source of L-methionine.
• Animal Feed & Veterinary Applications: Acts as a vital amino acid supplement in poultry, swine, and aquaculture feed to support optimal growth, feathering, and overall health.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in microbiological media and cell culture applications for studying amino acid metabolism.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Utilized in hair care and skin care formulations for its potential role as a sulfur donor and conditioning agent.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Dl-Methionate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets exacting standards for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, optical rotation, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance for your applications.

Storage

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