L(-)-Carnitine

Details:

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 crystalline powder Identification IR Appearance of Solution Clear and Colourless Specific Rotation -29.0～-32.0° pH 5.5~9.5 Water Content ≤1.0% Residue on Ignition ≤0.1% Residue Acetone ≤0.1% Residue Ethanol ≤0.5% Heavy Metals ≤10ppm Arsenic ≤1ppm Chloride ≤0.4% Potassium ≤0.2% Sodium ≤0.1% Cyanide Absent 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 Protect against liver disease Protect against diabetes Protect against kidney disease Aid in dieting
