Cholic acid sodium salt (CAS 361-09-1) is a bile acid derivative used in pharmaceuticals, metabolic research, and dietary supplement formulations for its role in cholesterol regulation and fat emulsification. It appears as a white to off-white powder with a molecular formula of C24H39O5·Na and a molecular weight of 430.55 g/mol. It carries no signal word but is classified H303 (may be harmful if swallowed) and H412 (harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects), and it requires ambient storage conditions. Molekula supplies cholic acid sodium salt from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
