N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine

N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine (NALT) is the N-acetylated derivative of the amino acid L-tyrosine, in which an acetyl group is bonded to the amino nitrogen, supplied by Nustras as a white crystalline powder for use in dietary supplements and nutrition products. Acetylation gives the molecule markedly higher water solubility than free L-tyrosine, which is the main reason it is chosen for liquid and powdered formulations.

It is formulated into dietary supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, into sports-nutrition and pre-workout powders, ready-to-mix beverages and functional-food premixes, and into amino-acid blends. A vegan grade is available for formulations that specify non-animal sourcing.

The material is a white to off-white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water. CAS number 537-55-3, molecular formula C11H13NO4, molecular weight 223.22. Assay is standardised to specification and determined by titration or HPLC; identity is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and specific optical rotation, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies N-acetyl-L-tyrosine in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is an accepted supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level and claim for their application. Contact us for grade, pricing per kilogram and lead time.
