Carnipure™ Benefits the Healthy |
 | Carnipure™, the premium grade of L-Carnitine, provides beneficial effects for many different health conditions, thanks to its essential role in energy production and fat metabolism. Though mostly known for its impact on weight management, sports nutrition and cardiovascular health, L-Carnitine has also shown benefits in infant nutrition, vegetarian health, male fertility, brain wellness and healthy aging. Specifically, Lonza’s Carnipure™ is produced to the beneficial form of Carnitine, the “L” isomer, providing a natural, physiologically-active form of the ingredient to increase end-user health benefits.
The history of L-Carnitine dates back decades; Carnipure™ was specifically established for the nutrition world more than 25 years ago. As athletes and weekend warriors alike continue to experience Carnitine’s benefits, we see an increase in applications utilizing Carnipure™, including food, beverages and supplements.
Alongside the growing evidence that Carnipure™ can positively impact individuals battling the health conditions listed above, research shows Carnipure™ can provide recovery from exercise benefits to another population: the healthy. Referenced below are a number of peer-reviewed studies detailing the ingredient’s benefits in exercise resistance and recovery, as well as vascular benefits in healthy individuals.
