Key Properties
L-Valine is an essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that plays a critical role in muscle protein synthesis and metabolism. It is one of the three branched-chain amino acids, alongside leucine and isoleucine, which are vital for muscle recovery and growth. L-Valine is particularly important for athletes and individuals engaged in intense physical activity, as it helps to reduce muscle breakdown and supports energy production during exercise. This product is of high purity (99%) and is suitable for biochemical applications, including research and formulation in cell culture media.
Also known as L-α-Amino-β-methylvaleric acid.
