Arginine is a semi-essential or conditionally essential α-amino acid. It plays versatile and critical roles in biological systems, primarily as a building block for proteins and a key precursor for several important molecules, most notably nitric oxide (NO). Its unique chemical structure, containing a guanidino group, grants it specific properties valuable across different industries. In animal nutrition, arginine is primarily used as a nutritional supplement to address dietary deficiencies and enhance specific physiological functions. In the cosmetics and personal care industry, arginine is valued as a multifunctional active ingredient and formulation aid, leveraging its mildness, charge, and moisturizing properties.
Piglet feed, broiler feed, aquatic feed, sow feed.
High-end shampoo/facial cleanser, conditioner, hair mask, moisturizing skin care products, shaving cream.

A1: In daily chemical formulations, Arginine serves as a multifunctional active ingredient. It helps adjust pH levels, acts as a gentle cleaning agent, neutralizes static charges to condition and repair hair, and provides essential skin moisturization and barrier repair.
A2: Arginine is used to satisfy growth and protein synthesis requirements in livestock. As a precursor to nitric oxide and polyamines, it improves overall blood flow, enhances reproductive performance, and supports robust immune functions.
A3: Our Arginine is a white crystalline powder with an assay value of 98.5% to 101.5% on a dry basis. It meets strict standards, including a maximum of 0.5% loss on drying, a maximum of 0.3% residue on ignition, and fully passes USP chromatographic purity tests.
A4: Arginine is primarily formulated into piglet feed, broiler feed, aquatic feed, and sow feed to address nutritional gaps and optimize development.
A5: Yes, the product conforms to standard infrared absorption identification tests, meets low heavy metal limits (0.0015% max), and passes USP chromatographic purity standards for safe use across feed and chemical industries.
