[ Function and Usage ]
It is an amino acid type drug. It is one of 8 kinds essential amino acid for human body. The main purpose is made of mixed Amino acid infusions and injections. The lack of L-valine may influence the growth of body, cause neuropathic obstacle, anaemia. It has especially wide application in the field of pharmaceutical and food industry.
