High Purity L-Valine Raw Material from China Suppliers and Factory for Premium Nutrition and Pharmaceuticals
Basic Information
Product Description
L-Valine, also known as L-2-Amino-3-methylbutanoic acid. L-Valine is one of three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), alongside leucine and isoleucine. BCAAs are directly utilized as an energy source in muscles, helping to reduce muscle breakdown during exercise, enhance endurance, and reduce fatigue. As an essential amino acid, L-Valine cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained through dietary sources such as meat, dairy, eggs, and legumes. It plays a critical role in muscle metabolism, tissue repair, and energy production, particularly during fasting or intense physical activity.
Applications
💊
Nutritional Supplements
L-Valine is commonly used in dietary supplements to support muscle health, athletic performance, and recovery.
🏥
Clinical Nutrition
It provides necessary amino acids for patients with muscle-wasting conditions or liver diseases.
🔬
Pharmaceutical Industry
L-Valine and its derivatives are used in the design and synthesis of new drug molecules, particularly in the development of antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer agents.
🍽️
Food Industry
It is added to various food products to enhance their nutritional value.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
❓ What is L-Valine and why is it considered essential?
L-Valine is an essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that the human body cannot synthesize on its own. It must be obtained through dietary sources such as meat, dairy, eggs, and legumes. It is vital for muscle metabolism, tissue repair, and energy production.
❓ What are the main benefits of L-Valine for athletes and active individuals?
L-Valine helps reduce muscle breakdown during exercise, enhances endurance, and reduces fatigue. As a BCAA, it is directly utilized as an energy source in muscles, making it a popular ingredient in sports nutrition and recovery supplements.
❓ What industries use L-Valine and for what purposes?
L-Valine is widely used across multiple industries: in nutritional supplements for muscle support, in clinical nutrition for patients with muscle-wasting or liver conditions, in the pharmaceutical industry for drug molecule synthesis, and in the food industry to enhance nutritional value.
❓ What is the standard purity and specification of your L-Valine product?
Our L-Valine meets a high-purity assay of 98.5%～101.5%. It appears as a white crystalline powder with a pH range of 5.5～7.0, a specific rotation of +26.6°～+28.8°, and complies with strict microbiological and heavy metal standards suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical applications.
❓ Is L-Valine safe for use in food and pharmaceutical products?
Yes. Our L-Valine undergoes rigorous quality testing including microbiological safety checks (E. Coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus Aureus — all negative), as well as heavy metal testing for Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury, all of which comply with international safety standards for food and pharmaceutical use.
❓ How should L-Valine be stored to maintain its quality?
L-Valine should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper sealing of packaging is recommended to prevent contamination and maintain its chemical stability over time, as indicated by its low loss on drying specification of ≤0.3%.
