Detail:
When L-carnitine tartrate is used as a source ingredient, the bioavailability is similar to that of L-carnitine (levocarnitine) given as a free base. The conversion factor for calculating the quantity of levocarnitine provided by L-carnitine tartrate is: Amount of levocarnitine (mg) = (68% levocarnitine)(X mg L-carnitine tartrate) (http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/scdocs/doc/19.pdf).
