Arginine CAS: 74-79-3

Arginine CAS 74-79-3 from M Trading is a pharmaceutical-grade amino acid supplied as a free-flowing white crystalline powder. It meets a minimum purity of 98.5% by HPLC, with a molecular weight of 174.20 g/mol and a typical pH range of 10.5 to 12.5 in a 1% aqueous solution. The product is highly soluble in water, offering rapid dissolution for formulation into capsules, tablets, or liquid supplements.

This L-arginine variant is derived via fermentation and purified to remove heavy metals, with typical residual limits below 10 ppm for lead and 2 ppm for arsenic. It is non-GMO and complies with standard food-grade specifications for ash content (0.1% max) and loss on drying (0.5% max). The material is packed in 25 kg fibre drums with inner polyethylene liners, a standard for bulk amino acid distribution.

Primary buyers include nutraceutical manufacturers targeting cardiovascular and sports nutrition markets, where arginine’s role as a nitric oxide precursor is critical. Importers should confirm packaging compatibility for their climate, as the product is hygroscopic. Typical bulk shipments from Canada use FOB or CIF terms, with lead times of 4 to 6 weeks post-payment confirmation.

M Trading operates as an imported-tier supplier based in Canada, specialising in the distribution of bulk amino acids for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications. The company’s profile indicates a focus on sourcing verified raw materials, with a harbour trust tier reflecting its established supply chain for biochemicals.

The supplier does not disclose manufacturing capabilities or in-house testing facilities in its profile. Buyers are advised to request current certificates of analysis and origin documentation directly, as the listing does not provide response rate metrics or verification signals. The absence of published quality certifications means due diligence on compliance (e.g., USP or EP standards) must be conducted prior to ordering.
