Application Fields

5-ALA is used in various ways to treat skin problems. It works extremely well on skin cancer and acne. It is also used in photodynamic therapy and has trichosis effect.

5-ALA can also be used in fertilizer and bio-degradable herbicide.

The functional fertilizer activates the photosynthesis when it is applied to the leaves. *Biodegradable photodynamic substance *Increase chlorophyll biosynthesis (ALA -> tetrapyrrote -> Chlorophyll) *Increases tolerance to environmental shock stress (Low temperature, salt accumulation, lack of sunlight) *Speed up photosynthesis (Increase yield of the crops and sugar content)

Replace the use of antibiotics *It is a known fact that 5-ALA is used to produce high quality meat because it enhances growth without promoting antimicrobial resistance. However due to high cost of 5-ALA, not everyone can afford to use 5-ALA. *We developed a special catalyst system to mass produce 5-ALA at more affordable price. *Effective immunoadjuvant
