What is L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine is essential for transporting long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, for subsequent fat breakdown and energy generation. The Carnipure® product is a high quality L-Carnitine ingredient manufactured by the Swiss company Lonza.

Popular as a sports nutrition supplement ingredient, Carnipure® L-Carnitine also provides beneficial support across many life stages and applications, including infant nutrition, prenatal health, male fertility, cardiovascular health, energy, healthy aging and weight management.

How it Works

The main metabolic function of Carnipure® L-Carnitine is to transport long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for beta-oxidation. Beta-oxidation is the metabolic pathway for using fat stores as an energy source. This pathway occurs in the part of the cell called the mitochondrial matrix, and L-Carnitine is essential for transporting the fatty acids into this space.
