Preserve in well-closed containers, at controlled room temperature. Property: White or almost white freely flowing crystalline powder. Use: It is one of the most important amino acid among the eight amino acids for composing the protein. It cannot be synthesized in the human and animal body. Its product widely applies in food, medicine and the feed. In food increases few lysine can promote the cerebrum growth, strengthen the body condition and improve the intelligence. Adds lysine in the feed can strengthen animal's appetite, enhance organism resistance to disease promote growth and so on functions, also can enhance the lean meat's output capacity, etc., so it has the remarkable economic efficiency. Recommended limit: 2 year.
