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 acid5-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
  1. 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.

  2. 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
  1. Fishery products : Boost immune system, body weight enhancement, stress reduction, basal etabolism enhancement

  2. 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.
