Product Description:

L(+)-Lysine monohydrate is the monohydrate form of the essential amino acid L-lysine. It is a white, crystalline powder with the molecular formula C6H14N2O2·H2O and a CAS number of 39665-12-8. As a basic amino acid, it contains an ε-amino group, making it a crucial building block for protein synthesis. Its primary application is in the pharmaceutical and nutritional industries. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a key component in infusion solutions for parenteral nutrition and as a raw material for various drug formulations. In the food and feed sector, it is widely used as a nutritional fortifier and feed additive to enhance the protein quality of cereal-based diets, which are typically deficient in lysine. It is also employed in the synthesis of certain peptides and biochemical reagents. L-Lysine monohydrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food. It plays vital roles in human and animal physiology, including supporting calcium absorption, collagen formation, and the production of carnitine. The global demand is driven significantly by the animal feed industry to optimize growth performance.
