Description
This listing covers L-carnitine in two salt forms. The hydrochloride is a stable, water-soluble salt that gives an acidic solution and is used where a free-flowing, less hygroscopic alternative to the free base is wanted. The fumarate combines carnitine with fumaric acid, a Krebs cycle intermediate, and is favoured in some sports nutrition formulations for that reason; it is also less hygroscopic than the base and handles well in dry blends. Both forms deliver less carnitine per unit weight than the free base, so formulations written against a carnitine content must account for the salt. Which salt is supplied should be confirmed at the order stage.
