Carnipure supplementation decreases hypoxic stress.


A new study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research demonstrates that supplementation with Carnipure, manufactured by Lonza, induces an increase in muscle oxygen consumption, providing a potential mechanism for reduced hypoxic hypoxic

Previous research from the University of Connecticut The University of Connecticut is the State of Connecticut's land-grant university. It was founded in 1881 and serves more than 27,000 students on its six campuses, including more than 9,000 graduate students in multiple programs.

UConn's main campus is in Storrs, Connecticut.

This research is supported by another study actually published at the same time by an Indian research group led by Arkadeb Dutta in Experimental Physiology. In this study, rats were exposed to hypoxia-induced oxidative stress and supplementation with L-carnitine was found to reduce oxidative ox·i·da·tive
