L–Histidine 100 g

Why L-Histidine keeps appearing in food, feed and skincare formulations worldwide

L-Histidine is classified as an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot produce enough of it on its own and must obtain it through diet or supplementation, which explains the steady global demand across several industries. This 100 g pack belongs to the Amino Acids category, a collection of pure amino acid concentrates suited both for home formulators and small studio labs testing new recipes before scaling up production. A pack of this size is convenient for pilot batches and for formulators who want to experiment without committing to bulk purchasing.

The strongest worldwide demand for histidine comes from the food and dietary supplement industry, where it plays a role in protein synthesis, forms part of hemoglobin, and contributes to histamine production, making it a popular ingredient in sports nutrition and recovery formulas. Another major application is animal feed and aquaculture, where histidine is added to fish and livestock diets to support normal growth and metabolic function. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the amino acid is used in the development of infusion solutions and specialized preparations. Within the cosmetic industry, histidine is valued for its antioxidant activity and its ability to chelate metal ions, which helps stabilize creams and serums while supporting the skin's natural defense against environmental stress.

When building a formulation, histidine pairs well with other amino acids and plant-derived actives. It is frequently combined with L Aspartic acid to create a more complete amino acid profile in cosmetic serums and nutritional blends, and with Tryptophan, which complements histidine in complex formulas designed for nutraceuticals and skin care. To boost antioxidant and strengthening properties, formulators often add SOPHORA JAPONICA RUTIN, a plant extract rich in rutin known for supporting skin capillary strength.

For dissolution, histidine works well in water or water-glycerin bases at room temperature or with gentle heating up to 30-40 degrees Celsius; it should be added at the final stage of formulation, once the main emulsion has cooled, to prevent thermal degradation. In cosmetic formulas, the typical working concentration ranges from 0.1 to 2 percent of the total product mass, depending on the intended use. In food and feed compositions, dosage should be calculated based on the specific technological requirements of the recipe. Store the raw material in a dry place away from direct light at room temperature, in a tightly sealed container.
