Product Description
Mechanism of action
Betaine citrate is a salt formed between betaine and citric acid, offering enhanced solubility and gastric acidity modulation. It acts primarily as a methylation agent while the citrate moiety contributes to buffering capacity and may influence mitochondrial energy metabolism.
Benefits and advantages
Applied in studies of methyl-donor pharmacology, gastrointestinal pH-modulating excipients, electrolyteacid balance, and citrate-cycle biochemistry. Often used in digestive-function models and formulation optimisation.
Side effects and risks
Possible risks include mild acidity-related GI irritation. Must be handled with moisture protection due to hygroscopicity.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
