What is Carnipure?
Carnipure is the specially formulated l-carnitine amino acid product from the Swiss company Lonza. It is a higher quality l-carnitine than most other brands on the market. The Lonza company extracts l-carnitine through chemical synthesis and not from meat sources which means that the product is suitable for vegetarians as well – a segment of the population that can oftentimes have an l-carnitine deficiency. The human body creates some l-carnitine itself, if certain enzymes and cofactors are available such as Vitamin C, B3, B6, iron and the essential amino acids lysine and methionine. Organs with high energy requirements such as the heart and brain require more of the l-carnitine than other organs.
The Benefits of L-Carnitine Amino Acid
People going through periods of stress, whether mentally or physically, can benefit from supplementing with l-carnitine. Athletes, people on weight management programs, pregnant and breastfeeding women, elderly people, vegetarians and those that eat little meat and anyone that wants to improve their health can all benefit from l-carnitine. Research has been done for the benefits of l-carnitine for athletes specifically and results showed that supplementation could decrease the production of free radicals, lessen tissue damage and reduce muscle soreness. The supplement can also promotes fat burning, reduces the breakdown of amino acids and promotes the formation of lean muscle mass.
