Potassium DL-Aspartate Hemihydrate

Potassium DL-aspartate hemihydrate is a mineral amino-acid salt formed from potassium and DL-aspartic acid, supplied by Nustras as a white crystalline powder and used as a source of the mineral potassium combined with the amino acid aspartate. Aspartic acid is a non-essential amino acid and an intermediate in several metabolic pathways; the hemihydrate form carries a defined amount of water of crystallisation.

It is formulated into mineral and electrolyte supplements in tablet, capsule and powder form, mineral-amino-acid premixes, sports-nutrition powders and fortified beverages, and in pharmaceutical formulations where an organic potassium salt is preferred over the chloride.

The material is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water; molecular formula C8H14K2N2O9, molecular weight 360.40. Identity is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and standard potassium identification tests, aspartate content by titration or HPLC, and the material is standardised to specification. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies potassium DL-aspartate hemihydrate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and sealed packaging, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Potassium aspartate is an accepted mineral source in major supplement markets; buyers confirm the elemental-potassium contribution, grade and permitted level for their application.
