non-protein amino acid | sarcosine (Creatine,N-methylglycine) is a kind of non-protein amino acid, as choline is naturally metabolized as glycine An intermediate in the process is very important to the human body. There are four sources: human body self-synthesis, chemical synthesis, plant extraction, and food source. The polymer with sarcosine as the repeating unit, that is, polysarcosine (pSar), has excellent biocompatibility, its degradation products are completely physiologically harmless, and polysarcosine has no charge, and has excellent hydrophilicity and reclusive effect. |
toxicity | ADI O ~ 50 (tentative; FA0/wH0,2001). |
use | 1. sarcosine can be used as a dye stabilizer for industrial products and as an amino acid surfactant for daily chemicals. it is also the main raw material for the production of creatine monohydrate, a fatigue recovery agent for health care drugs, participates in the synthesis of anti-enzyme agents and can be used as a biological reagent. 2. sarcosine can improve people's intelligence, especially for students' examinations, which require "temporary improvement of intelligence. 3. Sarcosine supplementation can increase muscle anaerobic strength and explosive power. Sarcosine exists in the form of creatine phosphate in the muscle. The human body mainly relies on ATP to provide energy during high-intensity exercise, but the ATP reserve in the human body is very small and requires continuous synthesis, and creatine phosphate can promote the synthesis of ATP. 4. Prevent damage caused by brain damage. 5. Sarcosine can effectively improve sports performance, strength, recovery time and pure lean muscles. Sarcosine exists in the form of creatine phosphate in the muscle. The human body mainly relies on ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to provide energy during high-intensity exercise, but the human body has very little ATP (adenosine triphosphate) reserves and requires continuous synthesis. Creatine phosphate can promote the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Biochemical research. Synthesis of anti-enzyme agents. Biochemical reagents, dye stabilizers, daily chemistry, amino acid surfactants, health care drugs fatigue recovery agents, etc. |
production method | the bark (phloem) of soap tree (Quillaia saponaria) is extracted with hot water or aqueous ethanol, then precipitated by ether or acetone, and then recrystallized and refined. The main component is saponin (saponin, etc.). The tree is mainly wild in Chile, Bolivia and other places in South America, and also produced in China. |
