Description
This listing covers L-lysine, an essential amino acid, in three presentations. The free base delivers the highest lysine content per unit weight and gives an alkaline solution. The hydrochloride is the most widely used form in feed and food fortification — it is stable, free-flowing and easy to handle, and it is the reference form in most published specifications. The acetate is selected in some pharmaceutical and clinical nutrition contexts where the chloride is unwanted. Lysine is commonly the first limiting amino acid in cereal-based diets, which underlies its very large use in animal nutrition. Which form is supplied should be confirmed at the order stage.
