New research from the University of Dijon, France—published in the Journal of Gerontology—indicates that supplementation with Carnipure, from Lonza, could play a role in supporting healthy aging by restoring decreased L-carnitine levels in the muscle cells of old rats, as well as restoring muscle oxidative capacity and further inducing positive changes in body composition.
The study found that without any change in food intake, the old animals showed a decrease in abdominal fat mass and an increase in muscle capabilities. Researchers discovered a statistically significant difference of 34% in muscle L-carnitine content between young and old rats. Although more research is needed, these findings, combined with additional animal and human research, suggest a potential role for L-carnitine supplementation in supporting healthy aging.
