Amino acids are biologically important organic compounds made from amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side-chain specific to each amino acid. In 1956, Kyowa Hakko became the first company in the world to succeed in the industrial production of amino acids using fermentation methods. Since then, the company has released a wide range of amino acids and has been a global leader in the field.

 

Amino acids are components of proteins that are important to the functioning of various systems in the body, such as protein synthesis, strengthen and repair tissues and enhance the functioning of the immune system.
