INTRODUCTION
L-carnitine Hydrochloride is a water soluble, stable salt form of L- Carnitine. It is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative. It is often used as a dietary supplement due to its role in energy production and fat metabolism.
Manufacture
L-Carnitine HCl is typically produced through a biotechnological fermentation process using genetically engineered bacteria (e.g., E.coli) or through multi step chemical synthesis, using a synthetic precursor crotonobetaine subsequently followed by purification and salt formation using Hydrochloric Acid.
