Character

L-Lysine Base, CAS 56-87-1, commonly referred to simply as L-Lysine, is an essential free-base amino acid presented as white crystalline powder. Differentiated from L-Lysine Hydrochloride, this free-base form features higher pure amino acid content without chloride residues, making it ideal for high-standard amino acid fortification in sensitive formulations. As a vital building block for human protein synthesis, it supports bodily growth, tissue repair and immune health. Widely applied in premium dietary supplements and functional food manufacturing, L-Lysine Base serves as a high-purity nutritional raw material for precise amino acid supplementation, conforming to standard food-grade specifications for stable and clean formulation applications.

Key Characteristics

1.Free base essential amino acid Chloride-free, higher effective lysine content compared to salt forms.

2.Highly soluble in water, hygroscopic Requires sealed packaging to avoid moisture absorption.

3.Ideal for chloride-free formula Suitable for supplement and pharma formulations where chloride ions are not allowed.

4.High purity & low impurities Fermentation derived, meets strict requirements for premium nutrition and pharma use.

5.Good formula compatibility Works well with other amino acids, vitamins and nutritional ingredients in powder blends.

Main Functions

1.Amino acid nutritional fortification Essential amino acid for protein synthesis, collagen formation and immune support.

2.Premium supplement formulation ingredient High active lysine content for capsule, tablet and powder supplement formulas.

3.Pharmaceutical nutrition raw material Used for chloride-free amino acid preparations.

4.Specialty pet nutrition fortification Added into high-end pet supplement formulas.

5.Biochemical medium component & cosmetic raw material Nutrient source for cell culture and skin care formulations.

Main Applications

1.Premium Dietary Supplements & Sports Nutrition: Capsules, tablets, compound amino acid powder, sports nutrition premixes, chloride-free supplement formulas.

2.Pharmaceutical Industry Chloride-free amino acid oral preparations and related pharmaceutical formulations.

3.Specialty Pet Nutrition High-end pet health supplements.

4.Cosmetic Raw Materials Skin care and hair care formulations.

5.Biotechnology & Laboratory Research Cell culture media and biochemical research raw material.
