Carnipure is a patented form of L-Carnitine L-Tartrate developed by Lonza, the world leader in nutritional ingredients, backed by more than thirty years of research. Its biofermentation manufacturing process guarantees a purity above 99.9%, without any animal-derived material. The L-Tartrate structure gives this carnitine excellent water solubility and a high concentration of active ingredient, allowing rapid availability in the body — ideal for supporting muscles during exercise and recovery.

L-Carnitine plays an essential role in transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of every cell. This mechanism favours the use of fat as an energy source, supporting endurance during prolonged efforts and helping with body composition management. Naturally found in small amounts in certain foods (red meat, dairy), carnitine levels can run low in people with restricted diets, particularly vegetarians and vegans. Targeted supplementation with Carnipure fills this gap without compromising on quality.

This product contains exclusively Carnipure L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, encapsulated in 100% plant-based pullulan capsules. No excipients, no GMOs, no artificial additives or controversial substances (nanoparticles, dyes, preservatives) are used. The bottle is designed with an eco-responsible approach: compostable and biodegradable, free from bisphenols, phthalates, aluminium and titanium dioxide. Packaging is carried out in France by Dynveo, with rigorous quality controls at every stage, in line with ISO 9001 and FSSC 22000 certifications.

The recommended dose is 3 capsules per day, providing 2,200 mg of L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (1,500 mg of pure L-Carnitine). Take with a large glass of water, ideally before physical activity or in the morning to support energy metabolism throughout the day.

This supplement suits vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free diets. If you have a chronic condition or are on medication, consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation.

How does Carnipure L-Carnitine work in the body?

L-Carnitine facilitates the transport of fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are converted into usable energy. This mechanism improves energy expenditure and benefits both sports performance and general vitality.

Is Carnipure L-Carnitine suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, this carnitine is obtained through biofermentation, with no animal-derived ingredients. The capsules are also 100% plant-based, making it a relevant choice for vegetarians and vegans.

When should I take L-Carnitine for best results?

For athletes, the ideal timing is 30 to 60 minutes before training to support the mobilisation of fat reserves during exercise. Outside of training periods, taking it in the morning with breakfast supports energy metabolism throughout the day.
