Product Information
Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl
Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl is the hydrochloride salt of acetyl-L-carnitine, identified by CAS 5080-50-2 and supplied in crystalline powder form.
About the Ingredient
Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl in Nutritional Products
Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl is the hydrochloride salt of acetyl-L-carnitine. Its defined chemical form distinguishes it from other carnitine ingredients used in nutritional formulations.
Formulations that specify Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl should be matched to that chemical form. L-Carnitine HCl, L-Carnitine Base and L-Carnitine L-Tartrate have different identities and specifications.
Chemical form, CAS number and analytical specification provide the key identity checks when qualifying Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl for formulation and purchasing.

Applications
Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl Applications
Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl powder can be evaluated for nutritional formulations where this specific carnitine form is selected for the finished product.
Nutritional Product Concepts
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is used in nutritional products developed around cognitive health, healthy aging, energy metabolism and sports-nutrition concepts. Product positioning and serving design should be determined within the complete finished formulation.
Finished Dosage Formats
The powder can be assessed for common nutritional dosage formats according to serving size, excipient system, processing conditions and finished-product requirements.
Formulation Review
Formulation Considerations for Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl
Handling and stability should be evaluated in the context of the intended dosage form, complete formulation and manufacturing process.
Dry Dosage Forms
For capsules and tablets, evaluate powder behavior within the complete excipient system and the intended filling or compression process.
Powder Blends
For dry blends, consider particle characteristics, moisture-related controls and handling requirements together with the other formulation components.
Liquid Formulations
Liquid products require formulation-specific stability assessment. Because Acetyl-L-Carnitine contains an acetyl ester, pH, temperature and processing conditions should be considered during development.
