Description

Levocarnitine Chloride (CAS 6645-46-1 ), also known as L-(-)-carnitine hydrochloride or Carnitine HCl, is the hydrochloride salt form of L-carnitine used across pharmaceutical, nutritional, and feed manufacturing. It functions as a bioavailable source of carnitine, supporting fatty acid metabolism in formulated products where stability and solubility are critical to dosage performance. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it serves as the active ingredient in oral solutions, tablets, and injectables targeting carnitine deficiency indications. Sports nutrition and dietary supplement formulators use it in powders, capsules, and functional beverages where the hydrochloride salt form offers improved handling over free-base carnitine. Animal feed producers incorporate it into premixes and compound feeds for swine and poultry to support energy utilization and lean mass development. Food and nutraceutical manufacturers also apply it in fortified products where a stable, water-soluble carnitine source is required for high-quality formulations. Levocarnitine Chloride is supplied as a white crystalline powder. It is available in pharmaceutical-grade ( USP / BP ) and food-grade specifications to meet regulatory requirements. Bulk supply is standard for industrial buyers, with packaging options typically ranging from kilogram quantities to multi-tonne orders for global distribution.
