CAS 625-08-1: 3-Hydroxyisovaleric acid

Beta-Hydroxyisovaleric acid is a supplement that can be used to prevent or treat muscle loss. It is a by-product of protein metabolism and functions as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. Beta-Hydroxyisovaleric acid can be found in foods such as red meat, cheese, milk, or eggs. It has been shown to increase redox potential and decrease protein oxidation. Beta-Hydroxyisovaleric acid supplementation has also been shown to increase endurance during prolonged exercise in humans. This product is soluble in water and should not be taken with any other medications without consulting a physician first.

Applications β-Hydroxyisovaleric Acid is a metabolite of the essential amino acid Leucine and is synthesized in the human body. Studies suggest that β-Hydroxyisovaleric Acid may have an effect on increasing muscle weight and strength. The presence of elevated β-Hydroxyisovaleric Acid is a sensitive marker of biotin deficiency and may indicate the presence of a genetic disorder such as biotinidase deficiency or holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Nissen, S. et al.: J. Appl.

3-Hydroxyisovaleric acid

3-Hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid is a useful biochemical for synthesis and proteomics research. It is used as an indicator of biotin deficiency. Further, it is used to increase muscle mass and decrease muscle breakdown. In addition to this, it is involved in the protein synthesis.
