Lonza Presents the Latest Nutritional Bars with L-Carnitine Ingredient

Under the brand Carnipure, Lonza offers Carnipure crystalline, which is pure L-Carnitine, as well as Carnipure tartrate, a non-hygroscopic form made of L-Carnitine and tartaric acid.

5 Feb 2010 --- Lonza has presented the newest nutritional bars containing Carnipure, its branded L-Carnitine health ingredient, at the third annual Healthy & Nutritional Bars Conference in Cologne, Germany. Developed for health-conscious, active consumers, the bars provide a quick snack formulated with a proven energy production ingredient.

Under the brand Carnipure, Lonza offers Carnipure crystalline, which is pure L-Carnitine, as well as Carnipure tartrate, a non-hygroscopic form made of L-Carnitine and tartaric acid.

Both forms are suitable for use in nutritional bars. Products displaying the CarnipureQuality Seal on the packaging show the consumer that they contain only L-Carnitine from Lonza Ltd, Switzerland.

L-Carnitine is a nutrient that is both produced in the body and can be found in some dietary sources. It plays a critical role in fat and energy metabolism by carrying long-chain fatty acids into the cells’ mitochondria where they are broken down for energy generation. Extensive research has shown that Carnipure can offer many important benefits including acceleration of post-exercise recovery and an increase in energy metabolism.

Lonza was a sponsor of the Healthy & Nutritional Bars Conference, which was organized by Bridge2Food, a knowledge and network agency based in the Netherlands. Over 90 representatives from the food and nutrition industry participated in the event, which took place on February 3-4, alongside the ISM, the world’s largest and most important confectionery trade fair.
