Appearance Display

L-Carnitine Base, chemically known as (R)-3-carboxy-2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-1-propylamine internal salt (CAS 541-15-1), is a white crystalline powder that serves as a multifunctional nutrient with well-established physiological roles in energy metabolism. As a naturally occurring compound synthesized primarily in the liver from lysine and methionine, L-carnitine functions as the essential carrier for transporting activated long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane into the mitochondrial matrix, where they undergo β-oxidation to generate cellular energy. This compound demonstrates high purity specifications (97.0–103.0% assay), with characteristics including specific rotation of -29° to -32°, pH range of 5.5–9.5, and loss on drying below 4.0%, ensuring consistent quality for diverse applications . Available in 25kg packaging, L-Carnitine Base exhibits good solubility in water and meets rigorous quality standards suitable for both food-grade and feed-grade applications .

Product Application

 

L-Carnitine Base finds extensive application across human nutrition, pharmaceutical, and animal feed sectors, supported by a robust body of scientific research. In human nutrition, it is widely incorporated into sports nutrition formulations to enhance fat oxidation and endurance performance, weight management products for body composition support, and functional foods targeting cardiovascular health and male reproductive function. The compound is particularly valuable in infant formula, athlete nutrition, and supplements for middle-aged and elderly populations, as well as vegetarians who may have limited dietary intake from animal sources. In animal production, research has demonstrated that L-carnitine supplementation improves feed efficiency, increases lean muscle mass, and reduces backfat thickness in swine by suppressing branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase activity and enhancing protein accretion. Recent studies in hybrid sheep have shown that dietary L-carnitine enhances meat color stability and antioxidant capacity through increased myoglobin content and superoxide dismutase levels. In aquaculture, the compound contributes to growth performance and body fat reduction in fish and shrimp, while in poultry and livestock, it promotes growth, reproductive performance, and stress resistance.
