Product Overview
(R)-3-Hydroxy-4-(trimethylammonio)butyrate (CAS 541-15-1 / 6645-46-1), commonly known as L-Carnitine or Vitamin BT, is a high-purity metabolic compound (>98.0% purity) essential for fatty acid transport and cellular energy production. This white crystalline powder delivers exceptional water solubility and stability, serving critical roles in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and functional foods
L-carnitine, also known as L-carnitine/vitamin Bt or carnitine, is an amino acid that helps convert fat into energy. Red meat is the primary source of L-carnitine, which is non-toxic to the human body. Its primary physiological function is to promote the conversion of fat into energy. Taking L-carnitine can reduce body fat and weight without sacrificing water or muscle mass.
Core Applications & Benefits
Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Uses
- Metabolic Health: Facilitates β-oxidation of fatty acids, supporting cardiac function and muscle recovery .
- Energy Enhancement: Boosts ATP synthesis for fatigue reduction (dose: 1–3 g/day in supplements).
- Weight Management: Promotes lipid metabolism in clinical obesity formulations .
Cosmetic Innovations
- Anti-Aging: Improves skin elasticity by enhancing cellular energy turnover .
- Moisture Retention: Strengthens barrier function in dry/sensitive skin products (0.5–2% concentration) .
Functional Foods & Sports Nutrition
- Energy Drinks: Natural ergogenic aid for endurance enhancement .
- Infant Formula: Fortifies milk substitutes to mimic breast milk nutrients
Product Benefits: L-Carnitine is an essential coenzyme in fat metabolism, promoting the entry of fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidative breakdown. It can be said that carnitine acts as a transporter for fatty acids. During prolonged, high-intensity exercise, carnitine increases the rate of fat oxidation, reduces glycogen depletion, and accelerates recovery from muscle fatigue.
Applications: Weight loss and slimming supplement. Can be used in weight loss products.
Suitable dosage forms include lotions, creams, gels, and water-based serums.
Storage & Handling
- Conditions: 25°C max, ≤60% humidity, sealed/light-resistant containers
- Safety: Non-irritating; use gloves/goggles during industrial handling
