Product Technical Details

Product Overview

L-Histidine Monohydrochloride Monohydrate is a high-purity amino acid salt derived from the essential amino acid L-Histidine. This compound plays a critical role in various biological processes, including protein synthesis, metal ion chelation, and pH buffering within physiological systems. Our manufactured grade is specifically optimized for demanding applications in the nutraceutical, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors.

As a monohydrochloride monohydrate salt, this form offers enhanced stability and solubility compared to the free base, making it an ideal choice for liquid formulations and parenteral nutrition solutions. The strict stereochemical control ensures that only the biologically active L-isomer is present, guaranteeing consistent performance in sensitive biological environments.
