In animals, carnitine is biosynthesized primarily in the liver and kidneys from the amino acids lysine or methionine.Carnitine transports long-chain acyl groups from fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix. L-Carnitine (CAS NO.541-15-1) products and supplements are not allowed to be imported into Canada (Health Canada).?It is stable under normal temperatures and pressures, and it?absorbs moisture or water from the air.?It should avoid the condition like incompatible materials, exposure to moist air or water. while, it is incompatibilities with other materials strong oxidizing agents. Its hazardous decomposition products are carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.?And its hazardous polymerization will not occur. |
