Description

cis-10,trans-12-Conjugatedlinoleicacid is a specific positional and geometric isomer of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), a group of naturally occurring fatty acids with significant biological activity. This isomer is particularly valued for its role in modulating lipid metabolism and body composition in nutritional and pharmaceutical research. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the dietary supplement, functional food, and advanced biomedical research sectors seeking high-purity, well-characterized bioactive compounds.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key active ingredient in formulations aimed at supporting weight management, metabolic health, and body composition.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich products like health drinks, dairy alternatives, and meal replacements with bioactive fatty acids.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in metabolic disorder and obesity research.
• Cosmeceuticals: Incorporated into topical formulations for its potential skin health and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Animal Nutrition: Used in premium feed additives for livestock to improve lean muscle mass and feed efficiency.
• Biochemical Research: Essential for in-vitro and in-vivo studies investigating mechanisms of fat metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation.

Quality Control

Our cis-10,trans-12-Conjugatedlinoleicacid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for isomer purity and assay, GC for residual solvents, and identity confirmation by FT-IR and MS. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specifications. Production can adhere to cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at -20°C or below for long-term stability. For short-term use, store at 2-8°C. This material is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere); avoid exposure to air, heat, and strong oxidizers.
