Emerging Trends Shaping the Food Amino Acids Market
Key players in the food amino acids sector are increasingly focusing on innovative product development, particularly leucine-enriched essential amino acids designed to support muscle health and improve nutritional profiles. These specialized amino acid blends aim to enhance muscle protein synthesis, aid recovery, and boost overall physical performance, making them especially valuable for aging populations and active individuals. For example, in November 2023, Ajinomoto Company (Thailand) Limited launched AminoMOF, a next-generation dietary supplement* formulated with collagen sourced from Japan alongside a leucine-enriched mix of eight essential amino acids. This product targets Thailand's elderly demographic, which numbers over four million people facing muscle loss and mobility issues.
