L-carnitine Base (China (Mainland))

Chemical name: (r)-3-carboxy-2-hydroxy-n, n, n-trimethyl-1-propanaminium hydroxide, inner salt (r)-(3-carboxy-2-hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium hydroxide, inner salt Other name: Vitamin bt Formula: C7h15no3 Molecular weight:161.2 Characteristic: L-carnitine forms white crystals or a white crystalline hygroscopic powder. It has a slight characteristic odor.

L-carnitine is extremely hygroscopic and even deliquescent and it can liquefy on exposure to air. L-carnitine is highly soluble in water, in alcohol, in alkaline solutions and in dilute mineral acids. It is practically insoluble in acetone or ethyl acetate.

Specifications: Appearance white crystals or white crystalline powder Or colorless crystals Identification ir or chemical method Appearance of solution clear and colorless Specific rotation -29.0~ -32.0 Ph 6.5~8.5 Water content =Residue on ignition =Heavy metals =Arsenic =Chloride =Sulfate =Cyanide absent Related substances impurity a =Assay =>99.0% Utility: L-carnitine is hygroscopic, so it is suitable for all kinds of liquid applications.

L-carnitine is essential in the utilization of fatty acids and in transporting metabolic energy. And so it can: Promote normal growth and development Treat and possibly prevent cardiovascular disease Treat muscle disease Help build muscle
