What is L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT)?
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT) is a highly bioavailable and stable form of L-Carnitine, produced by combining L-Carnitine with L-Tartaric Acid. It is widely used in sports nutrition, dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages due to its excellent stability, high purity, and rapid absorption.
L-Carnitine supports energy metabolism by facilitating transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation, improving fat utilization and supporting recovery and endurance.
