Amino acids for performance, wellness & animal nutrition
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and play critical roles in energy metabolism, muscle function, brain health and overall physiology. In food, beverage, supplement and feed formulations, they are used to deliver targeted nutritional benefits, improve flavour and support health-positioned products.
Applications in food, beverage & supplements
In human nutrition, amino acids such as taurine, creatine, L-glutamine, theanine, L-valine and other BCAAs are used in:
- Energy drinks and functional beverages.
- Pre-workout and post-workout powders.
- Meal replacements and medical nutrition.
- Effervescent tablets, capsules and tablets.
Glucosamine chondroitin sulfate is commonly used in joint health supplements, while L-carnitine and its salts are associated with energy metabolism and weight management concepts. Correct quality, purity and documentation are essential when addressing these markets.
Applications in feed & pet food
Feed grade amino acids, including L-threonine and DL-methionine, are key to optimising animal performance and feed efficiency. They allow precise balancing of protein levels in poultry, swine, ruminant and aquaculture diets, helping nutritionists reduce crude protein while maintaining growth and health.
Atlas Global Trading Co. offers amino acids suitable for feed premix manufacturers and integrators, with batch traceability, CoAs and, where available, Halal and other certifications required by regional markets.

Energy & performance amino acids
Creatine Monohydrate
Widely used in sports nutrition for high-intensity performance and strength. Suitable for powders, capsules, tablets and RTD beverage premixes. Available in food-grade quality with controlled particle size and heavy-metal limits.
Taurine
Key amino acid in energy drinks, functional beverages, infant formulas and pet nutrition. Available as high-purity crystalline powder with consistent assay, low impurities and good solubility for beverage applications.
L-Glutamine
Popular amino acid for sports and clinical nutrition, used in powders, capsules, RTDs and specialised medical nutrition. Neutral taste and good solubility make it suitable for blends and premixes.
L-Valine (Food Grade)
Essential branched chain amino acid (BCAA) used in protein powders, amino acid blends and energy formulations. Works in combination with L-leucine and L-isoleucine to support muscle metabolism and recovery.
Cognitive & wellness amino acids
Theanine
Amino acid associated with focus and relaxation concepts, used in functional beverages, capsules and tablets. Cosmetic-grade qualities are also available for beauty formulations; food-grade material is used for ingestible applications.
Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM)
Sulphur-containing compound often grouped with amino acids in joint and mobility products. Used in capsules, tablets and powder blends targeting joint comfort and mobility support, frequently combined with glucosamine and chondroitin.
L-Carnitine & derivatives
L-Carnitine
Quaternary ammonium compound involved in fatty acid transport, used in weight management, sports nutrition and energy formulations. Available in food-grade quality for liquids and powders.
L-Carnitine Fumarate
L-carnitine salt with fumaric acid, offering higher active content and improved stability for capsules, tablets and powder blends. Used in dietary supplements and sports nutrition product lines.
L-Carnitine Tartrate
L-carnitine salt with tartaric acid designed for use in high-performance sports nutrition. Good flow properties for direct compression tablets and blends used in pre-workout and weight management products.
Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL
Acetylated form of L-carnitine used in cognitive, energy and anti-fatigue supplements. Suitable for capsules, tablets and powder sticks, often combined with other amino acids, vitamins and botanicals.
Structural & joint support ingredients
Feed-grade amino acids
L-Threonine 98.5% (Feed Grade)
Essential amino acid for pigs and poultry used to optimise feed efficiency and reduce crude protein in diets. Supplied as 98.5% assay feed-grade crystals suitable for premix and complete feed manufacturers.
DL-Methionine (Feed Grade)
Sulphur-containing essential amino acid and first limiting amino acid in many poultry diets. Used across poultry, swine and aquaculture to support growth, feathering and overall performance in precisely balanced feeds.
Designing amino acid systems for your products
Applications for amino acids range from simple single-ingredient supplements to complex premixes for beverages, sports nutrition, medical nutrition and animal feed. Atlas Food Additives supports you in translating specifications into robust, scalable formulations.
Premixes, blends & ready-to-mix products
In powdered drink mixes and premixes, flowability, particle size distribution and hygroscopicity are key. We help you select amino acid grades that blend and dose consistently in high-speed filling equipment and remain stable during storage and transport.
Our partners can support tailor-made premix solutions combining amino acids with vitamins, minerals and sweeteners, helping brand owners shorten development time and reduce complexity in procurement.
Feed & pet nutrition formulations
For feed, amino acids must integrate seamlessly with existing milling, pelleting and extrusion processes. We support feed formulators with indicative matrix values, typical inclusion ranges and product handling recommendations for premixes and complete feeds.
Regulatory, quality & documentation
Amino acids used in food, beverage, supplements and feed must comply with regional regulations and customer requirements for purity, contaminants, allergens and GMO status. Atlas Global Trading Co. provides specification sheets, CoAs and, where available, non-GMO, Halal and Kosher documentation to support your internal quality systems.
For export-intensive businesses, we help coordinate dossiers and data packages from our partner manufacturers so your regulatory and quality teams can evaluate and approve suppliers efficiently.
From sampling to long-term supply
Whether you are running initial lab trials or scaling a global brand, we support you with sample supply, pilot-scale orders and long-term contracts. Our location in Türkiye allows flexible logistics to Europe, the Middle East, Africa and beyond.
