High Purity L-Valine Raw Material from Trusted China Suppliers and Factory for Nutritional and Pharmaceutical Products
Basic Information
Product Description
L-Valine, also known as L-2-Amino-3-methylbutanoic acid, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
❓
What is L-Valine and why is it considered an essential amino acid?
L-Valine is one of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and is classified as an essential amino acid because the human body cannot synthesize it on its own. It must be obtained through dietary sources such as meat, dairy products, eggs, and legumes, or through supplementation.
❓
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 muscle tissue, making it particularly valuable for athletes and those engaged in intense physical activity.
❓
What is the purity level of your L-Valine product?
Our L-Valine meets a high-purity specification with an assay range of 98.5%～101.5%, ensuring consistent quality suitable for nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical, and food industry applications.
❓
Is L-Valine safe in terms of heavy metals and microbial contamination?
Yes. Our L-Valine is rigorously tested for heavy metals and microbial safety. Heavy metals are controlled to ≤15ppm, lead to ≤3ppm, and pathogens such as E. Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, and Salmonella are all tested negative in 10g samples.
❓
In which industries is L-Valine commonly applied?
L-Valine has broad applications across multiple industries including nutritional supplements, clinical nutrition for patients with muscle-wasting or liver conditions, the pharmaceutical industry for drug synthesis, and the food industry for enhancing nutritional value of food products.
❓
What is the physical appearance and standard mesh size of L-Valine?
L-Valine appears as white crystals or crystalline powder. The standard mesh size specification requires ≥80% of the product to pass through an 80-mesh screen, ensuring consistent particle size for various processing and formulation needs.
