L-Carnitine - Can 100 g - Unflavored

WINFORCE L-Carnitin – Dose 100 g – Neutral

The WINFORCE L-Carnitin is a pure L‑Carnitine (L‑Tartrate) powder, neutral in taste and easy to mix. Per scoop of 1'000 mg it delivers 670 mg elemental L‑Carnitine; the 100‑g can therefore corresponds to roughly 100 servings. The formulation comes without artificial additives and, according to the nutritional values, contains no sugar, fat or protein. Biochemically, L‑Carnitine functions as a transport molecule for long‑chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized for energy production. As a retailer we follow the evidence: there are no approved health claims for L‑Carnitine in the EU/CH for general health or performance benefits.

• Pure L‑Carnitine (Tartrate), neutral, in the compact 100‑g can.
• 1 scoop = 1'000 mg powder with 670 mg L‑Carnitine; approx. 100 servings per can.
• SWISS MADE: developed and manufactured in Switzerland.
• Free from artificial additives, no sugar, fat or protein according to nutritional values.
• Easy to dose and mixes well into water or juice.
• Manufacturer's recommendation: regular intake for at least three months, preferably with meals.
• Lactose and gluten free according to the manufacturer.
• Provides L‑Carnitine independently of animal foods, which naturally contain the majority of dietary carnitine.

Technical Details and Functions

The product uses L‑Carnitine‑L‑Tartrate, an established, highly soluble salt form commonly used in sports supplements. The nutritional values are 402 kJ/96 kcal per 100 g and 4 kJ/1 kcal per serving, which makes intake practically calorie‑neutral for training routines. Absorption of supplemental L‑Carnitine is lower than from food; studies show that muscle carnitine stores increase mainly with long‑term supplementation combined with ample carbohydrates. A 24‑week protocol with 2 g L‑Carnitine plus around 80 g carbohydrates, taken twice daily, increased muscle carnitine levels and altered substrate metabolism during cycling. At the same time, the overall evidence for performance enhancement or weight loss remains inconclusive and requires an individual benefit‑risk assessment. Legally relevant: the EFSA found no cause‑and‑effect relationship for the claim “contributes to a normal fat metabolism” for L‑Carnitine, which is why we do not make health‑related claims.

Applications and Benefits

For Swiss cycling, the neutral powder is suitable due to the simple dosing and flexible intake before training, on rest days or on the go. Since L‑Carnitine primarily occurs in animal foods, supplementation can be a practical, needs‑based source especially for vegetarian or vegan athletes. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation (1 scoop daily, regularly over several months) and test tolerance well before important races. In competitive and professional sport it is also worthwhile to check the guidance from Swiss Sport Integrity as well as the Global DRO medication search to minimize the general risk of contaminated supplements. Always combine intake with a structured diet and adequate fluid intake; we are happy to advise you on combining it with Carb‑drinks and Recovery‑products for long base sessions, alpine passes or time trials.

Notes for Use in Everyday Cycling

Stir 1'000 mg of powder into water or juice and ideally take the portion with a meal so the routine fits daily life. Those who want to follow the study protocols combine intake with carbohydrate‑rich meals or drinks, as insulin can promote carnitine uptake into muscle. Plan use for at least 12–24 weeks if you want to evaluate a possible change in muscle carnitine stores; short‑term effects are unlikely. Always keep in mind that current evidence does not guarantee performance improvement or fat reduction – training, recovery and nutrition remain the biggest levers.
