The Lipo-C Analysis is a targeted laboratory test designed to determine the content of L-carnitine, L-arginine, and vitamin B12, together with the total solids content of a Lipo-C sample.
The target compounds are analysed by HPLC, with results reported in mg/ml. Total solids provide an additional measure of the overall amount of solid material present in the sample, helping assess the composition of the formulation beyond the individual quantified compounds.
About the Analyzed Compounds
L-carnitine is involved in mitochondrial fatty-acid metabolism and facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for beta-oxidation. L-arginine is an amino acid involved in several metabolic pathways and serves as a precursor for nitric oxide synthesis.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential micronutrient that functions as a cofactor for enzymes involved in important metabolic reactions and DNA synthesis.
Total solids represent the overall solid material present in a sample, including dissolved and suspended material. This measurement complements the targeted determination of L-carnitine, L-arginine, and vitamin B12.
