Properties: L-Carnitine is white crystals or a white crystalline hygroscopic
powder with slight characteristic odor. It is extremely hygroscopic and even
deliquescent and can liquefy with exposure to open air. L-Carnitine is highly
soluble in water, alcohol, alkaline solutions and in dilute mineral acids.
It is practically insoluble in acetone or ethyl acetate.

Utility: L-Carnitine is hygroscopic, and suitable for
all kinds of liquid applications. L-Carnitine is essential
for the utilization of fatty acids and in transporting
metabolic energy. Therefore it can:
1. Promote normal growth and development
2. Treat and possibly prevent cardiovascular disease
3. Treat muscle disease
4. Help build muscle
5. Protect against liver disease
6. Protect against diabetes
7. Protect against kidney disease
8. Aid in dieting |
