L-malic acid is an important intermediate product of the tricarboxylic cycle of the body, and there is only L-malate dehydrogenase in the body, so L-malic acid must be used from the perspective of structure and actual physiological environment. This is also the reason why some western developed countries favor L-malic acid. For example, the United States has clearly stipulated that DL-malic acid cannot be used in infant foods, beverages, and medicines, but L-malic acid must be used.
From the perspective of the role of food in maintaining life, its essence is to participate in metabolism and energy conversion. Proteins, lipids, sugars, etc. are finally subjected to tricarboxyl cycle oxidation for energy supply. This is the last step in the conversion process and the most important step. It is related to whether the body’s physiological functions are normal. In this way, we unite food and health organically. The health care effect of malic acid is to prevent the human body from causing abnormal tricarboxylic acid cycle due to L-malic acid deficiency, leading to metabolic disorders.
L-malic acid has physiological activity and is widely present in living bodies, but its content varies from person to person. As the saying goes “homologous food and medicine”, the following L-malic acid and related products have health benefits in diet therapy:
A. Due to the special position of malic acid in the material metabolism pathway, it can directly participate in human metabolism and be directly absorbed by the human body to provide energy to the body in a short time, eliminate fatigue, play the role of anti-fatigue and quickly restore physical strength. Acid’s anti-fatigue, liver, kidney and heart functions can develop health drinks.
B. The normal operation of metabolism can smoothly decompose various nutrients, promote food absorption and metabolism in the human body, low calories, can effectively prevent obesity, and can play a role in weight loss.
C. Adding malic acid to the medicine can increase its stability and promote the absorption and diffusion of the medicine in the human body; in the production of compound amino acid infusion, it uses the function of L-malic acid to adjust the pH value, and also acts as a mixed amino acid One of the infusion components, can improve the utilization of amino acids, used to treat uremia, hypertension, etc. and reduce the damage of anti-cancer drugs to normal cells, used as an auxiliary drug after cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy, used for burn treatment to promote wounds Healing.
D. L-malic acid can promote ammonia metabolism, reduce blood ammonia concentration, and protect the liver. It is a good medicine for the treatment of hepatic insufficiency, liver failure, liver cancer, especially hyperaemia caused by liver dysfunction.
E, L-malic acid is one of the basic fluid components for the treatment of heart disease. It is used to supplement K + and Mg2 +, maintain the energy metabolism of the myocardium, and protect the ischemic myocardium of myocardial infarction.
F, L-malic acid is a stabilizer of calcium lactate injection, it can also be used as a precursor of anticancer drugs and as an animal growth promoter.
G. Anti-tartar, malic acid has the characteristics of large acidity, soft taste, unique flavor and weak corrosion and destruction of malic acid, corresponding loss of enamel wear volume, and no damage to the mouth and teeth.
H. It can improve the energy metabolism of brain tissue and adjust the neurotransmitters in the brain, which is conducive to the recovery of learning and memory functions and has a significant improvement effect on learning and memory.
I. Melatonin (MT) is an indole hormone secreted mainly by the pineal gland and has various biological activities. Since its artificial synthesis and listing as a health food, research booms have taken place at home and abroad. A large number of animal experiments and clinical studies have shown that melatonin has a good sedative and hypnotic effect. L-malic acid is an ideal glutamate decarboxylase inhibitor. The hypnotic effect of melatonin is related to glutamate decarboxylase. L-malic acid may reduce sleep and increase excitement.
J, L-malic acid has a protective effect on human vascular endothelial cells, and has resistance to the effects of damaging endothelial cells.
K, CCM is an ideal calcium preparation with high biological activity, which can effectively supplement calcium. In the case of sufficient supply of other nutrients, using CCM as a feed calcium source can ensure and promote the growth and development of small animals.
