5-Hydroxylysine Analysis Service

5-Hydroxylysine, a key derivative of lysine, plays diverse physiological roles and is essential for the health of both humans and animals. As an essential amino acid, lysine is vital in protein synthesis and critical metabolic processes. However, lysine content in traditional foods, such as cereals, is low and prone to degradation during processing, highlighting the importance of monitoring and supplementing 5-hydroxylysine levels.

5-Hydroxylysine promotes bone formation, prevents osteoporosis, enhances immune function, improves nervous system health, and optimizes protein absorption and utilization, thereby supporting human development. Additionally, it has demonstrated significant clinical benefits in managing premenstrual syndrome and menstrual discomfort, indicating its potential in regulating physiological pain. Given its importance in maintaining health and preventing disease, precise metabolic analysis of 5-hydroxylysine is essential.
