Carnipure® L-carnitine plays an important role in facilitating the recovery process in response to physical activity. In this role, Carnipure® L-carnitine helps to protect the endothelial cells from an L-carnitine deficiency (thereby positively influencing the markers of purine catabolism), reduce tissue damage and muscle soreness and facilitate the overall process of recovery. Therefore, Carnipure® L-carnitine is emerging as a key ingredient in exercise and recovery type formulations across the globe.
Specifically, Carnipure® L-carnitine provides benefits in this application ranging from increasing blood flow, reducing markers of metabolic stress, decreasing muscle soreness and improving recovery time.
