Lonza, Multipower Sign Supply Deal for Carnipure

Multipower and Lonza have announced that they have signed a multi-year, exclusive supply agreement for Carnipure™, Lonza’s pure, crystalline LCarnitine. With the signing of this contract Multipower emphasizes the importance it attaches to sourcing ingredients of highest quality and with excellent safety profiles.

“We have been buying Carnipure™ for many years and we display the Carnipure™ quality seal on all our products containing L-Carnitine. The quality seal signals to consumers that we only use ingredients of highest quality, “says Michael Karstens, Nutritionist at Atlantic Multipower Germany.

L-Carnitine plays an important role in fat and energy metabolism. It is produced in the body and can be found in some foods. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the cells’ mitochondria, where they are transformed into energy. Extensive scientific research has shown that supplementary Carnipure™ can play a beneficial role in various areas of health.

Lonza is one of the world’s leading producers of L-Carnitine. Under the Carnipure™ brand, 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.
