Levocarnitine chloride (Cat No.: I014439) is suitable for making various liquid preparations due to its strong hygroscopicity. L-Carnitine hydrochloride, a small, highly polar zwitterion, is an important co-factor in the mitochondrial β-oxidation pathway. L-Carnitine hydrochloride acts to transport long-chain fatty acyl-CoA into mitochondria for degradation by β-oxidation. L-Carnitine hydrochloride is an antioxidant. L-Carnitine hydrochloride can improve the metabolic imbalance of many inborn errors of metabolism.
