Description

Isoleucine is an essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) critical for protein synthesis, muscle metabolism, and energy regulation in living organisms. Its high purity and consistent quality make it a vital raw material for producing balanced nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. This product is primarily required by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and animal feed industries seeking reliable, high-grade amino acid sources.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and infusion solutions for parenteral nutrition.
• Dietary Supplements & Sports Nutrition: A key component in BCAA blends, protein powders, and recovery formulas to support muscle repair and growth.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into functional foods, medical nutrition products, and beverage systems as a nutritional enhancer.
• Animal Feed Additives: Added to poultry, swine, and aquaculture feed to optimize amino acid profiles, improve growth performance, and support animal health.
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as a crucial nutrient in fermentation processes and microbiological culture media for biotechnological applications.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in life science research, metabolic studies, and diagnostic kit development.

Quality Control

Our Isoleucine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for identity, purity, and safety, aligning with standards such as USP, FCC, and Ph. Eur. where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
