Extra Details:: Protein serving structural and protective functions, present in hair and skin.

L-Leucine: 45-55% L-Isoleucine: 22-27% pH (5% in water): 4-6.5 Solubility: Highly water-soluble protein hydrolysate. Unlike native keratin, which is naturally insoluble in water, the hydrolyzed form is broken down into shorter peptides and amino acids, making it freely and completely soluble in water. It is also known to have excellent alcohol solubility. Storage and Stability: May be stored at RT for short-term only. Long-term storage is recommended at 4°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
