Description

Dipotassium Aspartate is a high-purity, water-soluble potassium salt of the amino acid aspartic acid. This compound serves as a highly bioavailable source of potassium and aspartate, making it valuable for applications requiring efficient mineral delivery and chelation. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for formulating electrolyte supplements, buffer systems, and metal complexing agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or excipient in electrolyte replacement therapies and intravenous solutions.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into sports nutrition products, mineral supplements, and functional foods for its bioavailable potassium content.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a component in cell culture media, buffer solutions, and enzymatic studies.
• Industrial Chelating Agent: Acts as an environmentally friendly chelator in various chemical processes and cleaning formulations.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Utilized in skincare products for its moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties.

Quality Control

Our Dipotassium Aspartate is manufactured under a quality management system and undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition. We can supply material compliant with relevant pharmacopeial standards (such as USP/NF or EP) upon request. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological data is provided with each batch.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent caking and degradation.
