Products Description
Premium Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL Powder (99% purity USP/BP grade): Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO. Ideal for brain health supplements, sports nutrition, & pharmaceutical formulations. Global shipping.
Our Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL Powder (ALCAR HCL) is a pharmaceutical-grade amino acid derivative engineered to meet the strictest global standards-USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and BP (British Pharmacopeia)-with a verified 99% purity rate (by HPLC). Unlike low-grade ALCAR HCL that contains residual solvents or impurities, our product is synthesized via a proprietary "Enzymatic Resolution Process" that eliminates heavy metals (Pb≤0.01ppm, Cd≤0.005ppm) and ensures >99% L-isomer specificity (critical for biological activity).
As a water-soluble, stable form of L-carnitine, our acetyl L-carnitine HCL powder crosses the blood-brain barrier efficiently-making it a preferred ingredient for brain health supplements. It is 100% vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO, with zero artificial additives, fillers, or preservatives. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified (Good Manufacturing Practices) facility compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 111 and EU GMP Annex 1, ensuring full traceability via QR-coded Certificates of Analysis (COA) that include purity, isomer ratio, and microbial test results.
With a fine crystalline texture and excellent flowability (angle of repose ≤35°), our ALCAR HCL powder blends seamlessly into capsules, tablets, powdered drinks, and liquid formulations-no clumping or sedimentation. As a direct manufacturer, we control every step from raw material sourcing (pharmaceutical-grade L-carnitine) to finished packaging, guaranteeing batch-to-batch consistency (purity variance ±0.5%) and competitive bulk pricing for B2B clients.
