Potassium Orotate

Potassium orotate is the monopotassium salt of orotic acid, a pyrimidine carboxylic acid that occurs naturally as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides. Nustras supplies it as a fine powder used as a combined source of potassium and orotic acid for dietary supplements and nutritional formulations.

It is formulated into mineral supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, into combination mineral products alongside other orotate and chelated salts, and into premixes and specialised nutritional products where the potassium salt of an organic acid is specified.

The material is a fine powder with CAS number 24598-73-0, molecular formula C5H3KN2O4 and a molecular weight of 194.19. Potassium content, orotic acid content, loss on drying and pH are standardised to specification; identity and assay are confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, HPLC and potassium determination by atomic absorption spectroscopy, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis. The material is of Chinese origin.

Nustras supplies potassium orotate 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. Potassium orotate is accepted as a supplement ingredient in a number of major markets, while its status varies by jurisdiction; buyers confirm the permitted use, level and claim for their application.
