Technical Description: Acetyl-L-Carnitine Powder Wholesale
From a manufacturing standpoint, Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCL is a crystalline powder that requires careful handling. It is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. We recommend handling it in humidity-controlled environments (below 40-50% RH) to prevent clumping.
When sourcing Acetyl-L-Carnitine Powder wholesale, it is important to note the sensory profile. The product has a sharp, sour taste due to the HCL component and natural acidity (pH approx. 2.0-3.0 in solution). Formulators often use it alongside sweeteners or flavor masking agents in liquid or powder blend applications. Despite these handling requirements, it remains the gold standard for carnitine-based cognitive supplements.

Packaging: 25 kg fiber drums with double or triple PE liners and desiccant bags.
