Extensive clinical research has discovered that L-Carnitine has a beneficial role to play in a broad array of applications, including sports nutrition, weight management and healthy-aging. Supplementation with L-Carnitine prior to high intensity exercise is significantly effective in assisting recovery. Volek et al. (2002) observed a decrease in the production of free radicals, less tissue damage and reduced muscle soreness after exercise and a better utilization of fat as an energy source during recovery. Studies also indicate that L-Carnitine is useful as part of a weight management programme when combined with exercise and calorie restriction.

Thus, everybody who is in search of the perfect physique, leading a healthy and active live, can benefit from supplementary L-Carnitine. L-Carnitine supplements further have a favourable effect on blood lipid levels, and have demonstrated to be helpful for people with angina, arrhythmias and heart failure. L-Carnitine is a vitamin-like substance that is essential in the utilization of fatty acids and in transporting metabolic energy. Deficiencies of this nutrient result in decreased energy and in compromised performance.

Lonza has also a vast experience in product development, marketing and scientific support for L-Carnitine. Benefit from this expertise.
