Product Overview
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring quaternary ammonium compound that transports long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production. It is a long-established sports nutrition ingredient available in several salt forms, each suited to different formulation needs.
Key Features
- Base, tartrate, fumarate, and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) forms
- White, highly water-soluble powders
- Low hygroscopicity — excellent stability in dry blends
- Broad application in sports nutrition and weight-management products
- Full documentation available on request
How It Works
- Fatty-acid transport: carnitine shuttles long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for beta-oxidation.
- Sports positioning: the classic application in pre-workout, endurance, and recovery products.
- ALCAR distinction: the acetylated form is positioned in cognitive and nerve-health products.
- Salt-form selection: tartrate is used to reduce hygroscopicity, fumarate for higher carnitine content.
Typical Applications
- Pre-workout, endurance, and recovery formulas
- Weight-management and metabolism-support products
- Cognitive blends (ALCAR)
- Functional beverages and shots
- Sports nutrition powders and capsules
