Pro Carnitin

Silicon dioxide, also known as silicic acid, is used to improve the flow properties of raw materials and increase the stability of the final product. It prevents powders from clumping, facilitates dosing, and aids in the absorption of nutrients in the intestines. In some cases, it is also necessary to enable the automated filling of capsules.

In its pure form, silicon dioxide poses no risk to human health and is considered safe in approved quantities. The silica used by TISSO is absolutely safe: We use only particles larger than 45,000 nm—well outside the range classified as critical for nanoparticles (<70 nm). As a result, our products pose no health risks whatsoever.

Acetyl-L-carnitine is a form of carnitine that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Since carnitine is important for energy metabolism, acetyl-L-carnitine consequently has a positive effect on the brain’s energy metabolism. It is also believed to support brain function by promoting the production of neurotransmitters and protecting brain cells from age-related damage.

Acetyl-L-carnitine should ideally be taken in the morning or at noon to get the most out of its energy-boosting and metabolic benefits. Since it has a mildly stimulating effect, it should not be taken in the afternoon or evening—depending on how you feel.

The choice between acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine depends on your specific health goals. While L-carnitine is mainly used to support energy metabolism in general, acetyl-L-carnitine also has the potential benefit of improving cognitive function and protecting the brain. A combination of the two is therefore beneficial, as found, for example, in our Pro Carnitine.

L-carnitine supports the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are used to produce energy. As a result, energy metabolism is improved and endurance is enhanced, which is particularly beneficial for athletes.

L-carnitine can support fat loss by promoting the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. It is important to note, however, that this alone is not enough to bring about significant weight loss; rather, it must be viewed as part of a healthy diet and exercise program.

Choline contributes to healthy fat metabolism. It also supports liver function and contributes to healthy homocysteine metabolism.

Choline L-bitartrate, a compound of choline and tartaric acid containing approximately 40% choline, is most commonly used in standard dietary supplements. It is not harmful and helps to effectively increase blood plasma levels of choline, thereby supporting liver function. The European Food Safety Authority has set the maximum safe daily intake of choline at 3.5 g for adults. Our carnitine product contains 200 mg of choline, which is well below the maximum daily intake. Nevertheless, we recommend not exceeding the recommended daily dose.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the recommended daily intake for adults is 400 milligrams of choline—with the exception of pregnant and breastfeeding women, who have an increased need for choline, at 480 mg per day. However, there is no specific recommended dose for choline intended solely for weight loss.

Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C. It is known for its ability to prevent the oxidation of fats and extend the shelf life of products.
