| Basel, Switzerland – Lonza recently presented the newest nutritional bars containing Carnipure™, its branded L-Carnitine health ingredient, at the third annual Healthy & Nutritional Bars Conference in Cologne, Germany.

Lonza presents the latest nutritional bars with Carnipure™ at 3rd Healthy & Nutritional Bars Conference |
 | Under the brand Carnipure™, 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. Both forms are suitable for use in nutritional bars. Products displaying the Carnipure™ Quality Seal on the packaging show the consumer that they contain only L-Carnitine from Lonza Ltd, Switzerland.
L-Carnitine is a nutrient that is both produced in the body and can be found in some dietary sources. It plays a critical role in fat and energy metabolism by carrying long-chain fatty acids into the cells’ mitochondria where they are broken down for energy generation. Extensive research has shown that Carnipure™ can offer many important benefits including acceleration of post-exercise recovery and an increase in energy metabolism.
Lonza was a sponsor of the Healthy & Nutritional Bars Conference, which was organized by Bridge2Food, a knowledge and network agency based in the Netherlands. Over 90 representatives from the food and nutrition industry participated in the event, which took place on February 3-4, alongside the ISM, the world’s largest and most important confectionery trade fair.
More information on products with Carnipure™ can be found on www.carnipure-for-you.com.
