✅ Beauty & personal care: Unlocking full-spectrum anti-aging and repair benefits for sensitive skin Repairs the skin barrier, thickens the epidermal layer, and increases collagen fiber density; enhances skin elasticity and alleviates skin lesions; delays skin aging by resisting free-radical damage, enhancing cellular autophagy, and inhibiting cell apoptosis; supports hair care and growth by promoting hair follicle growth and upregulating growth factor expression, improving scalp conditions at the root.

✅ Food: Empowering a new experience of health and nutrition Supports weight management — reducing weight gain by ~50% and lipid accumulation by 30%; improves fatty liver by lowering hepatic triglycerides by 30%; protects gut health by promoting Akkermansia proliferation, repairing the intestinal mucosa, and alleviating intestinal inflammation; provides natural support for infant immunity; modulates lipid metabolism and delays reproductive system aging; and serves as a potential functional ingredient in anti-tumor applications.

02 — γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) | An All-Scenario, Pharmaceutical-Grade Ingredient with Mature Market Availability

Technical strength: Internationally leading; technology mature with products already on the market; complete full-industry-chain processes in place Core attributes: A key inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human central nervous system; a non-protein amino acid that the body can synthesize on its own but depletes with age and stress; adaptable to all scenarios across beauty & personal care, food, agriculture, and animal nutrition

✅ Beauty & personal care: Soothing, anti-aging, and skin-barrier repair Inhibits collagen degradation, reducing fine lines and delaying aging; accelerates cell membrane polarization to repair the skin barrier; downregulates pro-inflammatory mediators to soothe skin inflammation; promotes microfibril assembly to enhance skin elasticity.

✅ Food: Regulating body and mind, empowering public health Improves sleep and alleviates anxiety and depression, acting on the central nervous system for dual regulation of mood and sleep; regulates blood pressure and blood sugar by promoting insulin secretion and vasodilation; supports children's growth and development by influencing pituitary hormone secretion; protects the liver and kidneys, regulates intestinal immunity, and promotes probiotic proliferation — widely used in sleep-support beverages, gummies, and dietary supplements.

✅ Agriculture + animal nutrition: Promoting growth, stress resistance, and performance enhancement Agriculture: Promotes absorption of medium and trace elements, strengthens crop roots and stems, advances harvest timelines, enhances stress tolerance (cold/heat/drought/flood), and reduces reliance on chemical pesticides. Animal nutrition: Increases daily weight gain and feed conversion efficiency, alleviates heat stress and liver inflammation, regulates lipid metabolism, and reduces fatty liver and related issues in poultry.

03 — 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) | Key Precursor of Heme and Chlorophyll, Creating Value on Dual Tracks

Technical strength: Internationally leading; available in multiple specifications — 98% phosphate powder, 20% powder, and 5% aqueous solution; a natural key precursor of heme and chlorophyll Core attributes: A naturally occurring functional non-protein amino acid in organisms, essential for cellular energy metabolism; stable under acidic and neutral conditions; adaptable to three major tracks: food, agriculture, and animal nutrition

✅ Food: Precise regulation, safeguarding metabolism and immunity A core ingredient for blood sugar management — improves insulin resistance and regulates the activity of glucose-metabolizing enzymes; alleviates anemia by promoting heme synthesis and enhancing iron absorption and utilization; regulates immunity by activating immune cells and maintaining immune balance; boosts cellular energy metabolism and exercise capacity; protects gut health and holds potential therapeutic value in cancer treatment.

✅ Agriculture: Quality and yield improvement, strengthening crop stress resistance Enhances photosynthetic efficiency by promoting chlorophyll synthesis and improving fruit sweetness and coloration; reinforces stress resistance by upregulating antioxidant enzyme genes to withstand multiple stresses; unlocks yield potential by promoting CO₂ fixation and improving flower and fruit retention; optimizes quality and shelf life by promoting anthocyanin synthesis and extending storage and preservation periods; delays plant senescence and supports seedling growth.

✅ Animal nutrition: Iron supplementation and immunity enhancement, improving farming profitability Acts as a "catalyst" for iron nutrition — promoting heme synthesis, alleviating anemia, and improving egg-laying performance in poultry; enhances animal immunity by upregulating immune-related genes and boosting phagocytic activity; alleviates heat stress by improving renal microcirculation and enhancing antioxidant capacity; improves survival rates in aquaculture by increasing blood oxygen-carrying capacity and enhancing tolerance to hypoxia and disease resistance.

04 — Ectoine (ECT) | A Natural Extract from Desert Halophilic Bacteria, a Star Anti-Aging and Anti-Stress Ingredient

Technical strength: Internationally leading; industrial-scale scale-up in progress; available in multiple specifications — 98% high-purity powder, 80% powder, and 10% aqueous solution; naturally isolated from desert halophilic bacteria of Africa Core attributes: A cyclic amino acid derivative and amphoteric water-binding molecule that aggregates water molecule clusters; a natural functional ingredient for anti-aging and stress resistance.

✅ Beauty & personal care: Full-spectrum repair, building a healthy skin foundation Provides intense moisturization by maintaining the hydration shell of biomacromolecules for long-lasting skin moisture retention; repairs the skin barrier, boosts cell activity, and improves fragile skin conditions; firms and tightens by reducing fine lines and improving skin surface condition; soothes inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory factors and relieving skin sensitivity; protects against UV radiation by counteracting UVA-induced protein damage and reducing photoaging; brightens and evens skin tone by inhibiting tyrosinase activity in a concentration-dependent manner and reducing melanin.

✅ Agriculture: Stress-resistant yield protection, improving crop quality Builds a cellular hydration protective shell to maintain osmotic balance, laying the foundation for stress-resistant growth; activates endogenous stress-resistance genes to withstand drought, salinity, high temperature, and low temperature stresses, securing yields under adverse conditions; stimulates root growth, improving nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium uptake efficiency and reducing fertilizer costs; stabilizes chloroplasts and enzyme activity, optimizing photosynthate accumulation to boost yield and quality.
