Carnipure

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.

Weight management

In the case of weight management, decreasing fat mass while preserving muscle mass is the ultimate goal. To decrease body fat, it must be used for energy via beta-oxidation. While weight management and sustained energy are different applications, both require using fatty acids, breaking them down, and converting them into energy in the form of ATP. Carnipure® L-Carnitine is the nutrient needed to help support this conversion of fat into metabolic energy. As Carnipure® supplementation can increase beta-oxidation, this results in glucose sparing and decreased breakdown of amino acids for energy production.

Carnipure® L-Carnitine plays an important role in facilitating the recovery process in response to physical activity. In this role, Carnipure® L-Carnitine helps to protect the endothelial cells from an L-Carnitine deficiency (thereby positively influencing the markers of purine catabolism), reduce tissue damage and muscle soreness and facilitate the overall process of recovery. Therefore, Carnipure® L-Carnitine is emerging as a key ingredient in exercise and recovery type formulations across the globe.
Specifically, Carnipure® L-Carnitine provides benefits in this application ranging from increasing blood flow, reducing markers of metabolic stress, decreasing muscle soreness and improving recovery time.
Carnipure® has conducted several human studies in collaboration with universities and research centers around the world to study the benefits of Carnipure® L-Carnitine in human nutrition. Since L-Carnitine has a central role in metabolism, the Carnipure® ingredient has been shown to be beneficial for many areas of health.

Carnipure® L-Carnitine has relied on continued scientific support as the foundation for success. Decades of scientific analysis and discovery, backed by a dedication to technical and sales support, have established an environment that drives consumer awareness and usage today. These efforts have helped establish Carnipure® L-Carnitine as a leading sports nutrition and weight management ingredient across the globe.

Pregnancy

There is increasing evidence that L-Carnitine may play an important role during pregnancy, particularly in women following a meat-reduced or vegetarian diet for which daily L-Carnitine intake may be too low to meet the increased needs during pregnancy. Due to its excellent safety profile, Carnipure® supplementation may be appropriate for pregnant women to restore their L-Carnitine plasma levels and at the same time decrease plasma free fatty acids. Of course, pregnant women should always consult a physician before taking any dietary supplement. The studies below explain the role L-Carnitine plays to benefit pregnancy-related changes in L-Carnitine metabolism, the role it plays for the placenta, and its effects on lipid metabolism and glucose levels. for more information visit:
