Everyone knows the beneficial effects of carnitine, such as weight loss, endurance improvement and muscle regeneration. Still, it happens that it does not work for someone, and even side effects occur. Why could this be?

It is important to clarify that real, pure L-carnitine is free of side effects and really effective. But not all pure L-carnitine is what it seems or is sold as. Everything depends on one letter: the letter D.

Many L-carnitines contain D-carnitine, so they should actually be called DL-carnitine. But what does this particular letter D mean and why is it dangerous, and how can we distinguish pure and safe carnitine preparations from versions that are harmful to health?

Carnitine can be produced in two ways: by a synthetic process and by a natural, so-called biotechnological method. Only the latter guarantees optically pure, D-carnitine-free L-carnitine!

Pure L-carnitine is an essential substance for fat metabolism and energy production. On the other hand, scientific research methods have shown that D-Carnitine (as a pure substance or in DL-carnitine form) is not only physiologically inactive, but also inhibits the uptake and functions of natural L-carnitine. The use of DL-carnitine has been observed to result in serious side effects to human health. According to the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration), D-carnitine and DL-carnitine are generally considered unsafe.

So, D-carnitine is not only an ineffective or biologically inactive substance, but also toxic and harmful to the human body, while pure (D-carnitine-free) L-carnitine has the positive properties known to many.

Now the only question is, how does the customer know whether he is buying pure L-carnitine or DL-carnitine? The answer is very simple.

As we wrote above, purity is guaranteed only in the case of biologically produced products. This biological process is completely unique and protected by a world patent, the exclusive owner of the method is Lonza, a research, development and production institute for pharmaceutical and biotechnological materials located in Switzerland. Carnipure® is a trademark registered by Lonza, and only carnitine products bearing this trademark are biotechnologically produced. The natural, biological L-Carnipure® process does not include genetically modified organisms or animal products.

Carnipure® has been approved by the FDA, complies with the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), in Germany it has received the status of "Neuform" biologically produced product, it can be consumed on a daily basis by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) according to and accepted by the Japanese MHLW (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare). Due to its excellent safety profile, Carnipure® products have been used in infant formulas for more than 25 years.

ESSENTIAL: if you want to consume carnitine guaranteed to be free of toxic substances and enjoy all its benefits, without side effects, then don't risk it, be sure: Buy a product with the Carnipure® logo.
