DL-Carnitine
Description
DL-Carnitine (CAS 406-76-8 ) is the racemic form of carnitine, a quaternary ammonium compound used across pharmaceutical, nutritional, and cosmetic manufacturing sectors. Unlike the biologically active L-form, the DL-racemate serves primarily as a reference standard, synthetic intermediate, or cost-effective ingredient where stereospecificity is not a requirement. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it is used as a synthetic precursor and analytical reference material during the production and quality control of L-Carnitine-based drug substances. Nutritional supplement formulators may incorporate it in products where racemic composition is acceptable under regional regulatory frameworks for specific dietary applications. In cosmetic formulations, it functions as a stabilizing and antioxidant-active ingredient in skin-conditioning creams and various anti-aging topical products for consumers. Animal feed applications include its use as a nutrient additive in aquaculture and livestock feed where carnitine supplementation supports metabolic function in target species. The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder and is available in technical and pharmaceutical-grade specifications characterized against USP or in-house standards. Bulk quantities are standard for industrial procurement, with smaller lots available for laboratory and quality control applications to meet diverse manufacturing needs.
