Quality Control

Our Potassium Orotate is manufactured under a quality management system and undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We can supply material that meets in-house specifications tailored to customer requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each batch to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 15-25°C.
