L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT)

bis[(3R)-3-hydroxy-4-(trimethylazaniumyl)butanoate] (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioate

L-Carnitine L-tartrate, or LCLT (CAS 36687-82-8), is a 2:1 crystalline salt pairing two L-carnitine cations with one L-tartaric acid molecule, formula C18H36N2O12 and molecular weight 472.48. It is produced synthetically by combining L-carnitine with L-tartaric acid to yield a stable, free-flowing salt at approximately 68% L-carnitine by mass. Unlike the free base it is a defined crystalline salt rather than the inner-salt form, and unlike the acetyl and propionyl grades it is a carboxylic-acid salt rather than an ester. We supply it as a powder and manufacture it into capsules, tablets, powders and liquid formats.
