CAS 541-14-0
:(+)-Carnitine
Description:
(+)-Carnitine, with the CAS number 541-14-0, is a quaternary ammonium compound that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fatty acids. It is a naturally occurring substance synthesized in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine. Characteristically, (+)-Carnitine is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly sweet taste. It is known for its role in transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized for energy production. This process is vital for cellular energy metabolism, particularly in muscle tissues. Additionally, (+)-Carnitine has been studied for its potential benefits in enhancing exercise performance, weight loss, and heart health. It is often available as a dietary supplement and is considered safe for most individuals when taken in appropriate doses. However, excessive intake may lead to side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort. Overall, (+)-Carnitine is an important compound in both biochemistry and nutrition, with various physiological implications.
