5-ALA

(5-aminolevulinic acid)
GVT present 5-aminolevulinic acid
What is the most important substance in Heme and Chlorophyll?
The Answer is δ-Aminolevulinic acid (5-aminolevulinic acid, 5-ALA). 5-ALA is a bioactive-material that is found in living organisms. It is a precursor in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles (Heme and Chloropyll).
We supply 2 types of δ-Aminolevulinic acid poweder (5-ALA) : Agricultural use and Cosmetic use.
Our Agriculural δ-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) contains less than 10% of dextrin.
This increases the shelf live for 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and prolong the freshness of 5-ALA longer.
Dextrin also prevents 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) from breaking which causes lower purity.
it also improves the quality of fertilizer because the molecules can stick better on leaves.
Our best grade δ-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) has the guranteed purity above 99% and it is widely used in cosmetic industries and as well as research centers due to our competitive pricing

Application Fields
-
5-ALA is used in various ways to treat skin problems. It works extremely well on skin cancer and acne. It is also used in photodynamic therapy and has trichosis effect.
-
5-ALA can also be used in fertilizer and bio-degradable herbicide. The functional fertilizer activates the photosynthesis when it is applied to the leaves.
-
Biodegradable photodynamic substance
-
Increase chlorophyll biosynthesis (ALA -> tetrapyrrote -> Chlorophyll)
-
Increases tolerance to environmental shock stress (Low temperature, salt accumulation, lack of sunlight)
-
Speed up photosynthesis (Increase yield of the crops and sugar content)
3. Replace the use of antibiotics
-
It is a known fact that 5-ALA is used to produce high quality meat because it enhances growth without promoting antimicrobial resistance. However due to high cost of 5-ALA, not everyone can afford to use 5-ALA.
-
We developed a special catalyst system to mass produce 5-ALA at more affordable price.
-
Effective immunoadjuvant
Product Breeding Effect
-
Fishery products : Boost immune system, body weight enhancement, stress reduction, basal etabolism enhancement
-
Livestock products : Boost immune system
-
Pig : Diarrhea prevention, improvement in feed efficiency
-
Chicken : Improvement in Egg production rate, decrease in mortality rate
-
Cow : Reduction in somatic cell count (High grade milk)
3. Agriculture product : Increase tolerance to environmental stress, promote photosynthesis, revitalize plants, increase quality.
