HPLC Method for Arginine, Carnitine on Primesep 100 by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Arginine, Carnitine.
L-carnitine is a quaternary ammonium cation with the chemical formula C7H15NO3. It is key to the metabolic processes of most living species as is vital in fat metabolism, mitochondrial protection, and cellular energy. It works to transport long-chain fatty acids onto the mitochondria. It is produced naturally in the body, but is also often consumed as a dietary supplement.
