L-alpha-Hydroxyisocaproic acid

Description:

L-alpha-Hydroxyisocaproic acid, also known as L-HICA, is an organic compound characterized by its hydroxyl and carboxylic acid functional groups. It is a chiral molecule, meaning it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the L-form being biologically active. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, which enhances its bioavailability. L-HICA is known for its role in metabolic processes, particularly in the context of muscle metabolism and protein synthesis. It is often studied for its potential applications in sports nutrition and bodybuilding, as it may help in reducing muscle soreness and promoting recovery. Additionally, L-HICA has been investigated for its antioxidant properties and its ability to influence the synthesis of certain amino acids. As with many organic acids, it may exhibit varying degrees of stability under different pH conditions and temperatures. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with any chemical substance, to avoid potential irritation or adverse reactions.
