Sodium dichloroacetate is a research compound that inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK), reactivating mitochondrial metabolism. It has been studied for over 50 years in oncology, endometriosis, ME/CFS, and metabolic disorders. AuraDCA products are for research purposes only.

Both contain the same active dichloroacetate anion. The difference is the counterion — sodium vs potassium. Potassium DCA is sometimes preferred for sodium-restricted research protocols. The mechanism of action is identical.

Published research has used a wide range of doses depending on the condition studied. We strongly recommend reviewing our Research Library for summaries of published protocols. AuraDCA does not provide medical or dosing advice.

Several published studies suggest that supplementing with Thiamine (B1) may support peripheral nerve health during DCA research protocols. We recommend reviewing the relevant literature. This is not medical advice — consult a qualified professional.

Monochloroacetate (MCA) is a toxic byproduct that can contaminate DCA during synthesis. Standard HPLC purity testing cannot detect it — you need separate ion chromatography. Most DCA sellers never test for MCA. AuraDCA tests every batch and requires MCA ≤0.05%. Our most recent batch result: None detected.

Every batch is independently tested by Eurofins — one of the world's largest independent laboratory networks. We test for HPLC purity, MCA by ion chromatography, heavy metals, and moisture. The Certificate of Analysis ships inside every order.

Yes — contact us at hello@auradca.com and we will send you the current batch Certificate of Analysis. Every COA is batch-specific and issued by Eurofins Vilnius.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is the gold standard method for measuring purity of research chemicals. Our batch HRK20260228 tested at 99.92% purity by HPLC — the highest published purity in the DCA market.

No. AuraDCA products are sold for research purposes only. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.

We are completing independent Eurofins verification before our first batch ships. We will not ship any product until it passes our full testing protocol. Join the waitlist to be notified when products launch.

Yes, we accommodate bulk research orders. Email hello@auradca.com with your requirements for a custom quote.

Our products have a shelf life of 2 years from manufacture date when stored correctly — sealed, cool, dry, and away from direct light. The manufacture and expiry date appear on each batch COA.

Due to the nature of research chemicals, we do not accept returns after dispatch. If your order arrives damaged or without a COA, contact hello@auradca.com within 48 hours and we will resolve it.

International orders may be subject to customs duties and import taxes levied by the destination country. These charges are entirely the recipient's responsibility. AuraDCA has no control over customs processing.

DCA has been studied for over 50 years. Like all research compounds, it has a known side effect profile including potential peripheral neuropathy at higher doses. We strongly recommend reading the safety literature in our Research Library before conducting any research. AuraDCA products are for research purposes only.

All AuraDCA products are sold strictly for research purposes. They are not intended for human consumption, therapeutic use, or self-administration. By purchasing, you confirm you are acquiring these products for legitimate research purposes only.
