Description

Potassium Dl-Aspartate Hemihydrate is a high-purity, crystalline salt of the amino acid aspartic acid, complexed with potassium. This compound is valued for its dual role as a bioavailable source of potassium and aspartate, serving as a key intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high-end food supplement industries for its application in electrolyte balance products, nootropic formulations, and specialized biochemical processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as a component in intravenous (IV) and oral electrolyte replacement solutions.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into formulations designed to support cellular energy production (Krebs cycle), cognitive function, and muscle recovery due to its role in neurotransmitter synthesis and mineral transport.
• Biochemical Research & Cell Culture: Serves as a defined component in cell culture media and as a reagent in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway research.
• Food Fortification: Utilized as a mineral fortifier and flavor enhancer in specialized sports nutrition products and functional foods.
• Cosmeceuticals: Applied in advanced skincare formulations for its potential role in moisturization and supporting skin cell metabolism.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Dl-Aspartate Hemihydrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological limits, supporting compliance with cGMP and relevant pharmacopeial guidelines for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed immediately after use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
