L-Carnitine Fumarate
(R)-(3-Carboxy-2-hydroxypropyl)-trimethyl ammonium fumarate
90471-79-7

Product Description
L-Carnitine Fumarate is white crystal or crystalline powder with slight special odor; high hygroscopicity. Easily soluble in water, ethanol and alkaloid solution; almost insoluble in acetone or ethyl acetate.
L-Carnitine Fumarate is a compound that combines L-carnitine, an amino acid derivative, with fumaric acid. It plays a vital role in the body’s energy production by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are burned to produce energy. L-Carnitine is naturally produced by the body and is found in foods like red meat and dairy.
When combined with fumarate, L-carnitine may offer additional energy benefits, particularly in supporting cardiovascular health. It’s commonly used in dietary supplements aimed at enhancing exercise performance, weight management, and energy metabolism, making it popular among athletes and those looking to support weight loss. Additionally, L-Carnitine Fumarate is valued for its antioxidant properties and its potential to improve endurance and recovery in physical activity.

Applications
- Energy Production: L-Carnitine Fumarate helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are converted into energy. This makes it popular for energy enhancement, especially in fitness supplements.
- Weight Management: By promoting the utilization of fat for energy, it is often used in weight loss supplements to aid in fat burning and metabolism boosting.
- Cardiovascular Health: L-Carnitine Fumarate can support heart function by improving energy production in heart cells and helping to reduce the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, making it beneficial in cardiovascular supplements.
- Athletic Performance: Many athletes and bodybuilders use L-Carnitine Fumarate to increase endurance, reduce fatigue, and enhance recovery after exercise.
- Cognitive Support: Some studies suggest that L-Carnitine may improve cognitive function and memory, as it helps with energy production in brain cells.
- Supplement for Vegetarians/Vegans: L-Carnitine is primarily found in animal products, so L-Carnitine Fumarate is used as a supplement for those on vegetarian or vegan diets who may not get enough from food sources.
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): It is sometimes recommended for individuals with chronic fatigue due to its role in enhancing mitochondrial energy production.
- Improving Fertility: L-Carnitine is sometimes used to support sperm health and motility, making it useful in male fertility supplements.
