5-Aminolevulinic Acid Phosphate and Foods
5-ALA, which is essential for producing the energy needed to sustain life, is produced in the body of various living things, including plants and animals. For this reason, 5-ALA is found in plenty of food, but it has been reported that it is especially high in fermented food. This makes it an adequately long consumption history in the Japanese community as food or functional food.
(Note) It has been confirmed that the 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Phosphate we handle is categorized as Food by the Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW).
