Description

Guanidineacetic Acid CAS NO 352-97-6 is a white to off-white crystalline powder that serves as a key biochemical precursor. It is primarily valued for its role as the direct metabolic precursor to creatine, a critical compound for cellular energy metabolism. This makes it an essential raw material for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries seeking to support energy production and muscle function.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: As a primary ingredient in creatine monohydrate synthesis for sports nutrition, cognitive health, and muscle support products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of creatine-based pharmaceuticals and other bioactive molecules targeting metabolic and neurological conditions.
• Animal Nutrition & Feed Additives: Incorporated into premixes to enhance energy metabolism, growth performance, and meat quality in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture.
• Biochemical Research & Diagnostics: Employed as a standard or reagent in metabolic pathway studies, enzymatic assays, and clinical diagnostic kits.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential use in formulations aimed at improving skin cell energy and vitality.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile building block in organic synthesis for guanidine-containing compounds.
