[Applications of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid]

As a new resource food additive, gamma-aminobutyric acid has prominent applications in nutritional foods, functional beverages, health products, and feed additives.

1. Application in beverages: Consumer demand for natural, low-sugar, and healthy beverages has promoted the rise of new varieties. Functional beverages, tea drinks, and fruit juices containing gamma-aminobutyric acid will be favored by more consumers.

2. Application in sports foods: Fatigue generated from work, study, or exercise is a physiological phenomenon. Sports drinks formulated with gamma-aminobutyric acid can meet the needs of high-intensity physical activity and are already popular abroad.

3. Application in dairy products: Fortifying dairy products with gamma-aminobutyric acid is an innovative combination. Gamma-aminobutyric acid can further enhance the functionality of dairy products, meeting the needs of more people and making them more competitive.

4. Application in baked goods: Adding trace amounts of gamma-aminobutyric acid to bread can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Adding an appropriate amount to biscuits and pastries can create healthy foods suitable for the elderly or children.

[Applications of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid in Feed]

(1) Significantly improves animal feed intake;

(2) Addresses various stresses caused by heat stress, cold stress, and nutritional imbalances;

(3) Promotes animal growth;

(4) Repairs damaged intestines, among other effects.

As a new type of feed additive, gamma-aminobutyric acid has significant effects on livestock and poultry, such as anti-heat stress, promoting growth, and improving production performance, with high safety.

1. Anti-stress: Prevents and treats stress syndromes in livestock and poultry, such as restlessness, tail-biting, fighting, feather-pecking, and vent-pecking. It has a significant anti-heat stress effect.

2. Promotes growth: Stimulates secretion and promotes growth.

3. Increases feed intake: Enhances appetite, accelerates the digestion and absorption of feed nutrients, eliminates picky eating and loss of appetite in livestock and poultry, and improves daily weight gain.

4. Improves animal blood circulation, enhances immunity and disease resistance, and enables livestock and poultry to better adapt to their living environment.
