Lysine acetate is mainly used to supplement lysine, one of the essential amino acids for the human body. Lysine is the first limiting amino acid, which can promote human development, enhance immune function, and improve the function of central nervous system tissue. When lysine is lacking, symptoms such as anorexia, malnutrition, delayed development, nutritional anemia, and osteoporosis may occur. At the same time, it can also affect the development of the central nervous system, leading to low intelligence and slow response in children. Because lysine itself is unstable, it often exists in the form of lysine salts, such as lysine hydrochloride and lysine acetate.
Lysine acetate can be used in medicine to prepare amino acid injections and oral preparations. It can also be used as an adjunctive drug for diuretics to treat lead poisoning caused by the reduction of chloride in the blood, etc. It can form salts with acidic drugs (such as salicylic acid, etc.) to alleviate adverse reactions.
In addition, currently on the market, apart from large-volume parenteral solutions and special function milk powder which add lysine acetate, α -keto acid tablets and dexamethasone eye drops also use lysine acetate as a formula. Moreover, due to the side effects of the chloride ions produced by lysine hydrochloride, the trend of lysine acetate replacing lysine hydrochloride in medicine and food is obvious in the future.
The Three Gorges brand lysine acetate holds a national patent and holds an important share in China's high-end food and pharmaceutical sectors.
