Alpha-Lipoic Acid is extensively used in animal feed as an antioxidant to protect vitamins A and E, improve immune responses, mitigate heat stress, and enhance the growth performance of poultry and livestock. It is also widely utilized in human dietary supplements and cosmetics.
Our Alpha-Lipoic Acid is manufactured to high standards with a specification range of 99% - 101%, typically achieving compliance with analysis results around 99.21% purity.
For smaller requirements, we offer 1kg packages (double plastic inside with aluminum foil bags and an outer box). For bulk requirements of 10kg, 25kg, or more, we ship using drums or cartons lined with double plastic layers.
We support multiple delivery channels depending on weight. Small packages (1kg-25kgs) are shipped via express couriers like EMS, DHL, UPS, or FedEx. Medium quantities can go via air cargo, and heavy bulk orders (over 100kgs) are regularly shipped via sea freight.
Express courier and air cargo deliveries typically take between 3 to 7 days to reach their destination. Ocean freight shipments generally take between 10 to 35 days depending on the final port destination.
