Product Overview
LIPO-C is a lyophilized, five-component biochemical research reagent with a listed total content of 326 mg. Its component research contexts include mitochondrial fatty-acid transport, transmethylation, phospholipid biosynthesis, hepatic lipid transport, and cobalamin-dependent enzyme pathways.
The listed composition provides a defined starting point for multi-component laboratory assays. Individual-component literature does not establish additive effects, simultaneous pathway activity, or reproducible responses for the combined formulation. Evaluate material composition, assay compatibility, and analytical controls for the selected experimental system.
MOLECULAR STRUCTURE AND COMPONENT RESEARCH
Component 1: L-Carnitine, PubChem CID 10917
L-Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound with formula C7H15NO3. The carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT-I/CPT-II) shuttle provides research context for long-chain fatty-acid transport and mitochondrial beta-oxidation. Laboratory endpoints include fatty-acid flux and CPT enzyme kinetics in cell-based metabolic assays.
The retained image depicts choline chloride. It does not depict L-Carnitine. L-Carnitine PubChem structure reference.
Component 2: L-Methionine, PubChem CID 6137
L-Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid with formula C5H11NO2S. Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) catalyses its ATP-dependent conversion to S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), providing a methyl-group donor for DNA, histone, and phospholipid methylation. Laboratory research includes transmethylation, DNMT-associated measurements, homocysteine metabolism, and glutathione precursor analysis. L-Methionine PubChem structure reference.
Component 3: Myo-Inositol, PubChem CID 892
Myo-Inositol is a carbocyclic polyol with formula C6H12O6 and provides the backbone for phosphatidylinositol (PI). PI derivatives including PIP2 and PIP3 provide research context for PI3K/Akt signaling and IP3-mediated calcium measurements. Assays may examine phospholipid turnover and second-messenger signaling in cellular metabolic systems. Myo-Inositol PubChem structure reference.
Component 4: Choline Chloride, PubChem CID 6145
Choline is a quaternary ammonium cation, C5H14NO, supplied here as choline chloride, C5H14ClNO. The CDP-choline (Kennedy) pathway provides context for phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis. PC is associated with membrane phospholipids and VLDL assembly. Laboratory endpoints include Kennedy-pathway flux, VLDL secretion, hepatic triglyceride measurements, and acetylcholine or betaine pathway studies. Choline Chloride PubChem structure reference.
Component 5: Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12), PubChem CID 5311498
Cyanocobalamin is a cobalt-containing corrinoid with formula C63H88CoN14O14P. Its relationship to methylcobalamin and 5’-deoxyadenosylcobalamin provides context for methionine synthase (MTR) and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT) enzyme research. Laboratory endpoints include homocysteine remethylation, methylmalonic-acid measurements, one-carbon transfer, and pathways associated with odd-chain fatty-acid and branched-chain amino-acid catabolism. Cyanocobalamin PubChem structure reference.
Research Mechanisms and Laboratory Assays
- Mitochondrial Fatty-Acid Transport: CPT-I/CPT-II kinetics and beta-oxidation flux in controlled cell-culture assays.
- Transmethylation: MAT activity, SAMe-associated methylation, and homocysteine pathway measurements.

WHY SOURCE FROM PROFOUND AMINOS
Five-Component Analytical Documentation
Profound Aminos lists per-component RP-HPLC purity testing and LC-MS identity confirmation for all five fractions. The batch COA provides composition, analytical results, lot number, and manufacturing date for laboratory material assessment.
Single-Batch Formulation
The listed 326 mg format combines the five components at a fixed mass ratio in a single lyophilization run. Assess homogeneity and component concentrations for the chosen solvent system and assay. Formulation ratio alone does not guarantee identical aliquots or experimental reproducibility.
USA Domestic Cold-Chain Shipping
Profound Aminos lists USA domestic shipping through monitored cold-chain materials handling from a climate-controlled facility. Storage and transport conditions are relevant to reagent stability and should be considered alongside the batch documentation.
RESEARCH USE AND LABORATORY HANDLING
For laboratory research use only. Not for use in humans or animals.
Use appropriate gloves, a lab coat, and protective eyewear during solubilization and handling. Consult the SDS for each component: L-Carnitine, CAS 541-15-1; L-Methionine, CAS 63-68-3; Myo-Inositol, CAS 87-89-8; Choline Chloride, CAS 67-48-1; and Cyanocobalamin, CAS 68-19-9.
Store lyophilized material at 2–8°C, desiccated and protected from light. After solubilization, store at −20°C in single-use aliquots, limit repeated freezing and thawing, and protect from light. Assess compatibility and stability in the selected aqueous laboratory buffer.

How should component-level literature be interpreted?
Research on an individual component does not establish the properties or combined effects of the LIPO-C formulation. Interpret findings according to the compound identity, experimental model, concentrations, and assay conditions studied.
What laboratory safety information is relevant?
Use suitable gloves, a lab coat, and protective eyewear during solubilization and handling. Consult the SDS for each component and follow institutional laboratory safety procedures.
Do you provide a COA for every batch?
Yes. Batch COA documentation includes per-component RP-HPLC purity, LC-MS identity information for all five fractions, endotoxin screening, lot number, and manufacturing date. The page lists an endotoxin threshold below 0.25 EU in the specifications and below 0.25 EU/mg in the original COA description; confirm the applicable units and lot result in the batch COA.
What does the component mass ratio describe?
The listed formulation mass ratio is 200:25:50:50:1 for L-Carnitine, L-Methionine, Myo-Inositol, Choline Chloride, and Cyanocobalamin. This ratio describes material composition and does not establish saturation, assay suitability, or combined effects.
