Description

Hydroxycitricacid is a naturally occurring organic acid derived primarily from the rind of the *Garcinia cambogia* fruit. This compound is valued for its role as a competitive inhibitor of ATP-citrate lyase, a key enzyme in fatty acid synthesis. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to develop weight management and metabolic health formulations. Our supply of Hydroxycitricacid CAS NO 6385-10-0 ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for global B2B partners.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Primary active ingredient in weight management and appetite control formulations.
• Functional Food & Beverages: Incorporated into health drinks, meal replacements, and fortified foods for added metabolic benefits.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of therapeutic agents targeting lipid metabolism.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential ingredient in topical formulations aimed at skin health and wellness.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or biochemical reagent in metabolic and enzymatic studies within academic and industrial laboratories.
• Animal Nutrition: Explored as a feed additive for promoting lean muscle mass in livestock.

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 sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
