Quality Control

Our Lithium Orotate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, heavy metal screening, and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for high-grade applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and safety parameters are available upon request.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
