Acetyl-L-Carnitine(powder)

[b1ewsw32]

Does anyone know if Acetyl-L-Carnitne powder carries a strong acetic acid smell-like vinegar? Is this normal considering there may be some acetic acid in the formulation of ALCar.

The smell is strong, but the company assures me that this is normal. They did a melting point test to verify that the product has not de-composed.

I thought that maybe the powder was exposed to significant moisture and hence started to acetalize, similar when ASA or Acetaminophen expires delivering that same vinegar smell.

Thanks for your help..

It's one of the strogest smells I've encountered so far. Dissolve it with a lot of water to lessen the awful taste

yes, very acidic smell (like vinegar)...I got my ALC powder from BAC. I've capped it so the smell is no longer. Make sure you keep the ALC dry because the humidity will clump it together
