L-Carnitine Tartrate 3000mg | 180 Capsules | Vit4ever

L-Carnitine Tartrate by Vit4ever

You know how it is: one amino acid form is not the same as another, and with l-carnitine tartrate, that difference is exactly what matters. Vit4ever has chosen the tartrate form, l-carnitine bound to tartaric acid, in a dosage of 750mg per capsule. Four capsules per day provide 3000mg of l-carnitine tartrate, of which 2000mg is pure l-carnitine. One bottle contains 180 vegan capsules, which amounts to approximately 45 days at the recommended dosage.

What exactly is l-carnitine

L-carnitine is a substance that your body produces itself, from the amino acids lysine and methionine. This production mainly takes place in the liver and kidneys. L-carnitine is also naturally found in meat and fish, while plant-based foods contain hardly any. There is no approved health claim for l-carnitine; therefore, we are only describing here what it is, the form, and the amount per serving.

Why specifically the tartrate form

There are several forms of l-carnitine, such as acetyl-l-carnitine or regular l-carnitine base, and each form has a slightly different composition. In l-carnitine tartrate, the amino acid is coupled with tartaric acid, an acid that occurs naturally in grapes and is widely used in the food industry. This coupling makes the powder more stable and more soluble than the pure form, which is also related to the crystal structure that is formed after binding.

How much l-carnitine does it contain

While some carnitine products come out to 500 or 1000mg per daily dose, this daily dose contains 3000mg of tartrate. That includes 2000mg of pure l-carnitine. Through diet, you usually get 100 to 300mg of l-carnitine per day, mainly from red meat such as beef and lamb. With 750mg of tartrate per capsule, you get the daily dose with four capsules, without having to compromise with half doses or multiple bottles at once. With 180 capsules per bottle and four pieces per day, you can expect about 45 days of use, just under two months.

Pure, vegan and independently tested

In many supplements, fillers, colorings, or flavorings sneak into the capsule, even when there is no single functional reason for it. With this l-carnitine tartrate, this has been deliberately handled differently. In addition to the l-carnitine tartrate itself, the capsule only contains hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a shell, a plant-based material that is also used in many other vegan capsules as an alternative to animal gelatin. There is no magnesium stearate as a lubricant, no titanium dioxide as a coloring, and no added flavoring. What you read on the label is therefore exactly what is in the capsule. Vit4ever also has every production batch independently tested in a certified laboratory, where purity and the absence of unwanted substances are checked. Especially with a raw material like l-carnitine tartrate, which is traded worldwide in different degrees of purity, that independent control makes the difference between a basic supplement and a product where you know exactly what is in it. This way, you know with every new bottle that the composition remains the same as what is on the label.
