Quality Control

Our Valeryl-L-Carnitine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided with every shipment. We can supply material compliant with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards for pharmaceutical applications upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and purity.
