Features

ALA(5-Aminolevulinic acid) is very important natural amino acid residing inside an organism. Photosynthesis germs originate from this. It is very important substance to an organism as it is a precursor for chlorphyll and blood. The ALA induced material has various elements for metabolism promotion and a wide range of its application is being reported.

A photo dynamic therapy using ALA is very important for a skin treatment such as UV cornifications, psoriasis, skin cancer and warts. When ALA is sprayed on to the skin, it is absorbed by the epithelial cell and as a result a precursor for heme, protoporphylene IX is generated. This is a very effective photo sensitizer. The light energy causes it to react to neighboring oxygen, so that active oxygen is generated. Consequently, it can damage or kill the skin layers and cells to treat various skin diseases. In addition, as ALA is selectively absorbed in the areas with skin cancers or other diseases, so it hardly affects the normal cells living next to them.

When ALA is applied to an animal, the number of hemoglobin and red blood cells is increased and as a result, the immune power is reinforced. When applied to vegetables, the growth of chlorophyll and the photosynthesis power are enhanced to promote the growth of vegetable. In addition, in a fiber activation test using ALA, the number of cells at the density of 20ppm is increased by 60% which indicates a great effect on skin recovery.
ALA promotes ATP synthesis of mitochondria which in turn promotes metabolisms. Consequently, cell divisions and growths are activated. Also, according to the result of metabolism promotion, the normal cell divisions are promoted. According to the test result provided by the Chinese Agricultural Science Center, by adding 1ppm, you can promote blood supply to a baby pig, prevent anemia and strengthen the immune power. As an ingredient for a skin cell revival cosmetic product, ALA is registered at the International Cosmetic Affair(ICID).
