Brief Introduction 5-ALA is a key precursor for chlorophyll biosynthesis and is one of the basic metabolites of all living organisms on earth. 5-ALA is involved in the regulation of the biosynthesis of important life substances such as ferrous hemoglobin, cobalamin, and anthocyanin. It can be said that without 5-ALA, living organisms would cease to exist!

Product Role

In the field of agriculture:

5-ALA has the function of plant growth stimulant, in the field of agriculture, it can promote the growth of crops, fruit trees, vegetables, garden plants, etc., improve the yield, enhance the quality, and the effect of crop yield increase can be up to 10-60%, and because of the characteristics of the environment is easy to degrade and no residue, it can also be used as green herbicides and insecticides.


In the field of medicine:

As a new photodynamic drug, 5-ALA is not only used in the treatment of local or systemic skin cancer, but also in the diagnosis of bladder cancer, digestive tract cancer and lung cancer.As a photosensitiser, 5-ALA has a wide range of applications and can be used in the treatment of acne, actinic keratosis, various skin diseases, bladder cancer, condyloma acuminatum, upper gastrointestinal tract cancer, rectal cancer, breast cancer, nevus with bright red spots, age-related macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. For example, the cure rate of basal cell carcinoma reaches 91 per cent, the cure rate of acne reaches more than 95 per cent, and the treatment of bladder cancer and psoriasis, which is regarded as a persistent disease, has achieved satisfactory curative effects.


In the field of animal husbandry:

5-ALA plays a variety of roles in the growth of pigs, cattle and sheep, such as promoting heme synthesis, increasing feed conversion rate, promoting growth, improving blood index, preventing anaemia, regulating immune system and antioxidant capacity. Therefore, in the feeding process of pigs, cattle and sheep, the reasonable addition of ALA is of great significance to improve the growth performance, health status and production efficiency of animals.
