Introduction
L-Acetyl Carnitine HCl, a derivative of the amino acid carnitine, is renowned for its benefits in enhancing energy metabolism and cognitive support. It is particularly effective in elderly individuals and those with certain health conditions, where it improves brain functions and energy production. Despite its benefits, the use of L-Acetyl Carnitine HCl as a dietary supplement faces significant technical challenges, such as its very sour taste and high hygroscopicity, which make its formulation and stabilization difficult.
Therapeutic Properties of L-Acetyl Carnitine HCl
- Metabolic and Energy Support: It promotes the conversion of fats into energy, essential for supporting energy metabolism, especially under conditions of physical or mental stress.
- Cognitive Support: It enhances cognitive functions, reducing symptoms of mental fatigue and boosting memory and processing speed in the elderly.
- Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory: It acts as a powerful antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress and protecting cells from damage. Its anti-inflammatory properties also contribute to overall well-being and the prevention of chronic diseases.
IPS Innovation: L-Acetyl Carnitine HCl MATRIS®
IPS has responded to formulation challenges by developing L-Acetyl Carnitine HCl MATRIS®, which leverages patented MATRIS® technology to mask the sour taste and improve the product’s flowability, reducing its hygroscopicity. This innovative formulation not only increases the absorption of the active ingredient and facilitates its integration into supplements but also enhances the end-consumer’s experience.
Studies and Scientific Collaborations
Recent studies on 3D organoid systems have confirmed that L-Acetyl Carnitine HCl MATRIS® improves the absorption of active ingredients, prolonging their half-life and significantly reducing levels of inflammation and sensitization at the gastric and intestinal levels. These studies have demonstrated that the synergistic combination of L-Acetyl Carnitine HCl MATRIS® with Alpha Lipoic Acid MATRIS® RETARD further enhances the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant efficacy, showing improved benefits in the peripheral nervous system.
Applications and Formulations
Thanks to the versatility of MATRIS® technology, L-Acetyl Carnitine HCl MATRIS® can be formulated into various dosage configurations, such as tablets, sachets, stick packs, capsules, and vials with dosing caps. This formulation not only ensures greater stability in complex compositions but also that the product can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the market and consumers.
SmarTTabs® for Intelligent MATRIS® Delivery
For applications requiring direct compression, IPS also offers SmarTTabs® formulations, which ensure the maintenance of the active release profiles post-compression. These are ideal for maintaining the integrity and efficacy of the active ingredient throughout the product’s shelf-life.
Conclusion
L-Acetyl Carnitine HCl MATRIS® by IPS represents a significant technological advancement in the field of dietary supplements, enhancing not only the efficacy of the active ingredient but also the practicality of production and the consumer experience. With its continuous innovation and commitment to research, IPS reaffirms its leadership in supplement innovation, effectively responding to the needs of a market increasingly focused on quality and effectiveness of products.
