Description

Betaine Choline [R-(R*,R*)]-Tartrate is a high-purity, crystalline salt formed from choline and tartaric acid. This compound is valued for its role as a stable and bioavailable source of choline, an essential nutrient critical for cellular membrane integrity and neurotransmitter synthesis. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and premium animal nutrition sectors for formulating advanced dietary supplements and health products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of specialized medications and as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in formulations targeting liver health and metabolic support.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key ingredient in nootropic blends, cognitive support formulas, and sports nutrition products due to its role in acetylcholine production and homocysteine metabolism.
• Animal Feed & Nutrition: Incorporated into premium feed for poultry, swine, and aquaculture to enhance growth performance, liver function, and egg quality.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed in advanced skincare formulations for its hydrating and cell membrane-stabilizing properties.
• Research & Development: Serves as a critical standard and reagent in biochemical research, clinical studies, and analytical method development.

Quality Control

Our Betaine Choline Tartrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
