Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Succinic Acid
Formula:
C4H6O4
GOST/CAS:
CAS 110-15-6
Succinic acid (succinate) is a highly purified white crystalline powder that acts as a powerful antioxidant and regulator of cellular energy metabolism. This pharmaceutical-grade product is characterized by the absolute absence of foreign impurities and highly stable physicochemical properties. This makes it an indispensable component in the production of dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and specialized nutrition.
Applications
Pharmaceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Used as an active ingredient in antihypoxant and metabolic medications, as well as an excipient to stabilize various dosage forms.
Food Industry: Applied as an acidity regulator (E363) and flavor enhancer in the production of beverages, confectionery, and dietary products.
Cosmetology: Integrated into anti-aging serums, peelings, and face masks to stimulate cellular respiration and improve skin tone.
Sports Nutrition: Incorporated into isotonic formulations and supplements to boost endurance and accelerate body recovery after high-intensity workouts.
Key Advantages
High Purity Level: Compliance with pharmaceutical standards guarantees a primary substance content of at least 99.5%, which is critical for manufacturing injectables and tablets.
Biological Activity: Stimulates the Krebs cycle, accelerating ATP synthesis, which delivers a pronounced antioxidant and regenerative effect.
Excellent Solubility: The powder dissolves easily in water and alcohol, simplifying the technological process of developing both liquid and dry forms.
Safety Profile: The product is fully biodegradable, non-toxic, and does not cause irritation to mucous membranes when proper dosages are maintained.
Storage & Transportation
