Carnipure™ - purest L-Carnitine from Switzerland
CarnipureTM is a special grade of L-Carnitine, manufactured by the Swiss life sciences company Lonza. Thanks to a unique production process based on fermentation, Lonza is the only L-Carnitine manufacturer capable of producing L-Carnitine in the same way as nature. Products that carry the CarnipureTM quality seal on the packaging show the consumer that they contain pure L-Carnitine.
L-Carnitine is essential for the conversion of fat into energy. It shuttles long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria where their oxidation takes place, with the ultimate generation of energy. This conversion helps fuel vital organs, particularly the heart and skeletal muscles.
Extensive clinical research has discovered that CarnipureTM has a beneficial role to play in a broad array of applications, including sports nutrition, weight management programmes, cardiovascular health and healthy aging.
Lonza has been supplying CarnipureTM products to the dietary supplement, pharmaceutical and infant formula industries globally for many years. More recently, an increasing number and variety of functional food products such as probiotic yoghurt drinks, confectionery, energy drinks, bread or bars supplemented with CarnipureTM has entered the market.
The physical properties of CarnipureTM crystalline and CarnipureTM tartrate make these products manufacturer-friendly. As functional food ingredients, they can be used in any application where dietary enrichment is appropriate. Both products are bright white, heat stable, highly water soluble and form colourless solutions. CarnipureTM crystalline is inherently hygroscopic and therefore especially suited to liquid applications. CarnipureTM tartrate, on the other hand, is a non-hygroscopic salt of L-Carnitine and thus perfect to use in any solid or liquid application.
