Description

L-Ornithine L-Aspartate Salt is a pharmaceutically important salt formed from the amino acids L-Ornithine and L-Aspartic Acid. This compound is valued for its role in supporting metabolic functions, particularly in the urea cycle and liver health. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for the formulation of hepatoprotective and detoxification products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and intermediate in the synthesis of hepatoprotective medications.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used in formulations aimed at supporting liver function, detoxification, and ammonia metabolism.
• Clinical Nutrition: Incorporated into specialized parenteral and enteral nutrition solutions for patients with hepatic conditions.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in metabolic pathway studies and enzymology research.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Applied in animal health products for liver support and metabolic disorders.

Quality Control

Our L-Ornithine L-Aspartate Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We offer grades suitable for pharmaceutical applications, with testing aligned to relevant pharmacopoeial standards (e.g., USP, EP). Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles to ensure consistent quality and regulatory compliance.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
