Carnipure Benefits Aging

BASEL, Switzerland—Research from the University of Dijon, France, found supplementation with Carnipure™ can restore age-decreased L-carnitine levels in the muscle cells of old rats, restore muscle oxidative capacity and further induce positive changes in body composition. According to the study findings published in the October 2008 issue of the Journal of Gerontology, without any change in food intake, the old animals showed a decrease in abdominal fat mass and an increase in muscle capabilities.
Supplementation with Carnipure was found to increase the beta-oxidation rate and thus muscle oxidative capacity in old rats by 55 percent. Also in healthy adults, Carnipure supplementation has been shown to stimulate in vivo long chain fatty acid metabolism.
Body weight in old rats normally increases over time, which was also true for the old rat control group without Carnipure supplementation. In old rats, Carnipure supplementation seemed to limit body weight increase by limiting fat gain and possibly by increasing fatty acid oxidation. At the same time the data clearly showed food intake is not modified by Carnipure supplementation.
“With the world’s elderly population predicted to nearly triple by 2050, it is not surprising that the market for anti-aging foods and supplements will see increased levels of activity and opportunity for manufacturers. Carnipure may help support functions that seniors need to stay fit and healthy in both mind and body,” said Professor Jean Demarquoy, leading researcher of this study.
