Individual amino acids and formulated systems

Amino Acids

Source individual amino acids and amino-acid systems for supplements, beverages, nutrition products and fortified foods.

What it is

Understand the ingredient or product system.

Amino acids are a broad chemical and nutritional family, not a single commercial product. Each sourcing request must identify the exact amino acid, chemical form, grade, assay and intended application.

Solubility, taste, stability, serving target and regulatory treatment vary substantially between individual amino acids and finished-product formats. Caffeine and creatine are separate product identities and are not presented here as substitute amino-acid SKUs.

Buyer questions

Amino Acids FAQ

Is amino acids one product?

No. The exact amino acid, chemical form, grade and assay must be specified.

Are caffeine and creatine amino-acid products?

They are separate product identities and should not be used as generic substitutes for an individual amino acid request.

What should an amino-acid RFQ include?

Provide the exact identity and form, target assay or serving, application, annual volume, destination and documentation requirements.

Specification-led sourcing

Need a particular grade, format or quantity?

Send the application, specification, annual volume and destination. Nutrifena will evaluate available products, documentation and commercial terms.
