Lonza announced that a company sponsored clinical study conducted at the University of Leipzig (Germany) has found that supplementation with L-Carnitine Crystalline significantly increases fatty acid oxidation in healthy adults.
This study is significant because it is the first investigation to conclusively show that oral L-Carnitine Crystalline supplementation stimulates in vivo long chain fatty acid metabolism. Results of this study were published in Metabolism (2002;51(11)1389-1391).
L-Carnitine, a vitamin-like nutrient, occurs naturally in the human body and is essential for turning fat into energy. Due to clinical research, L-Carnitine is already a popular dietary supplement among physically active people who supplement with this nutrient to help with post-exercise recovery. Extensive scientific research indicates that L-Carnitine promotes cardiovascular health and studies also suggest that L-Carnitine may be useful as part of a weight management program.
The present clinical study was conducted under guidance of Detlef Muller. The study investigated the effects of oral L-Carnipure L-Carnitine Crystalline supplementation on in vivo long chain fatty acid oxidation by measuring 1-[13C] palmitic acid oxidation in healthy adults before and after L-Carnipure L-Carnitine Crystalline supplementation (3x1 g/d for 10 days). "We observed a significant increase in 13C02 exhalation, thereby indicating a significant increase in fat oxidation in healthy adults," said Muller.
Andrea O. Schaffhauser, manager scientific affairs & market development, Lonza, Ltd., commented, "part of this study has been presented at the Experimental Biology Meeting in Orlando, Florida, 2001. We, at Lonza, are pleased to now be presenting the full paper of this breakthrough data to the scientific community." According to Muller, "this study is important to all people who exercise, those who undergo a weight management program and those who have a high energy demand."
L-Carnipure L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (U.S. Patent 5,073,376 and other international patents) consists of 68% L-Carnitine and 32% L-tartaric acid. Most recently, L-Carnipure L-Carnitine Crystalline and L-Carnitine L-Tartrate have been self-affirmed as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe). Being crystalline, white-water-soluble and heat stable, both products are ideal for use in various food and drink applications.
