Description

Choline Dihydrogencitrate Salt is a high-purity, organic acid salt that combines choline with citric acid. This compound is valued for its role as a stable and bioavailable source of choline, an essential nutrient, and as a versatile buffering agent. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for formulating dietary supplements and functional food products, as well as in research and development for biochemical applications.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key ingredient in capsules, tablets, and powders as a source of choline for cognitive and liver health support.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used in the production of medicines and injectables where choline supplementation is required.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into health drinks, infant formula, and fortified foods to enhance nutritional value.
• Biochemical Research & Cell Culture: Serves as a component in cell culture media and as a reagent in various biochemical studies and diagnostic kits.
• Animal Feed Additives: Used in premixes to promote animal growth, health, and feed efficiency.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed in skincare formulations for its potential moisturizing and skin-barrier supporting properties.

Quality Control

Our Choline Dihydrogencitrate Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
