Description
5-ALA is the first compound in the porphyrin synthesis pathway leading to chlorophyll in plants. This amino acid is the essential step in which chlorophyll is regulated in plants. We use this complex amino acid in a fertilizer, mixed with a unique composition of trace elements that are essential in numerous plant processes, enzymes, proteins and other building materials.
How does it work? 5-ALA is synthesized from the glutamine amino acid in an enzymatic reaction. Stage 1 : Glutamic acid + 5-aminolevulinic acid => Porphobilinogen (PBG) Stage 2 Protoporphyrin IX => Monovinyl protochlorophyllide a-> NADPH, light-> Stage 3 Protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase-> Chlorophyllide A Stage 4 + Phytol tail-> Chlorophyll A.
We've probably lost most of you during this chemical process, but it's especially important to understand what it does for the plant!
What are the properties of 5-ALA fertilizer?
- Improves plant growth
- Has a positive effect on photosynthesis
- Stimulates the production of chlorophyll
- Increases the sugar content
- Increases resin and terpene production
- Affects polyphenols (flavinoids)
- Affects NPK and Ca in leaves
- Regulates plant pH
- Stimulates antioxidants
- Increases stress tolerance
- Increases efficiency
5-ALA is not a new product in production/cultivation, but as a fertilizer it is still not common. Grow rooms are becoming more and more tuned these days and light levels are rising, which is why it is important that the chlorophyll level rises evenly. The demanding external factors we subject the plants to must be met by the best available fertilizers and additives. That is why we have combined it in a unique combination with ortho-silicic acid. We are the brains (without being modest) behind this combination and want you to see and experience the same results as we do!
