L-Alanine Powder
What is L-Alanine Powder?
L-Alanine is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H7NO2, and is a colorless to white crystalline powder. It is mainly used in biochemical research, tissue culture, liver function tests, as a flavor enhancer to improve the flavor of seasonings, and also as a sourness corrector to improve the sour taste of organic acids. As a key participant in gluconeogenesis and energy metabolism, L-alanine plays a fundamental role in energy supply, acid-base balance, and neural regulation.
Feature
Supporting Gluconeogenesis and Energy Supply: L-alanine transports amino acids from muscles to the liver via the alanine-glucose cycle for glucose synthesis, maintaining stable blood glucose levels. This process is crucial for preventing hypoglycemia during high-intensity exercise or periods of starvation.
Regulating Acid-Base Balance and Detoxification: In the liver, L-alanine participates in the urea cycle, helping to remove excess amino acids and reduce ammonia toxicity. Its metabolite, pyruvate, can be further converted to oxaloacetate, aiding in maintaining acid-base balance.
Enhancing Immune Function and Antioxidant Properties: L-alanine is a nutrient required for lymphocyte proliferation and antibody synthesis; deficiency may weaken the immune response. It serves as a precursor to glutathione, indirectly supporting the antioxidant defense system.
Assisting in Neurotransmitter Synthesis: By being converted to pyruvate and entering the tricarboxylic acid cycle, it provides energy to nerve cells. Its metabolites can influence the balance of neurotransmitters such as glycine and GABA.
Applications
Sports Nutrition and Energy Supplementation: Added to sports drinks or energy supplements to delay fatigue and maintain endurance performance through the alanine-glucose cycle. Used in muscle-building products to reduce exercise-induced muscle breakdown.
Liver Function Support and Metabolic Regulation: As a co-ingredient in liver-protective products, it helps promote ammonia detoxification and urea synthesis. Used in health supplements for regulating blood sugar, it helps improve abnormal glucose metabolism.
Food Additives and Flavor Modifiers: Used as a sweetener in low-calorie beverages and flavorings to provide a mild sweetness and balance the taste. Used in pickled foods to improve flavor and color stability.
Pharmaceuticals and Special Uses: As an amino acid component in parenteral nutrition solutions, it supports the nitrogen balance of critically ill patients. As a raw material for cosmetic moisturizers, it enhances skin hydration.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
