[SEE THE BATCH PROOF]

Before You Buy Another L-Carnitine Supplement, Ask One Question:

Can I see the proof?

Thousands of supplements make claims about metabolism, energy, performance and weight-management support.

The bottles can look remarkably similar.

The words can sound remarkably similar.

“Premium.”

“Advanced.”

“High quality.”

“Scientifically formulated.”

But how do you know what is actually behind the capsule?

At Biogénique®, we believe you should be able to look beyond the front label.

So before choosing a supplement, ask:

Is it licensed by Health Canada?

Can I verify the NPN?

Do I know the actual amount of the active ingredient?

Was the finished product tested?

Were contaminants examined?

Did the capsule meet its specifications?

How did the finished capsule perform?

And most importantly:

Can I see the Certificate of Analysis?

With Biogénique®, the answer is yes.

THE 30-SECOND ANSWER

Biogénique® L-Carnitine + Green Tea is a Health Canada-licensed Natural Health Product.

NPN 80086440

The formulation combines:

500 mg L-Carnitine

with

Green Tea Extract

Camellia sinensis

The licensed purpose for this formulation includes use in conjunction with a program of reduced dietary caloric intake and increased physical activity, where possible, to help in weight management, together with workout support.

But we believe a licence should be the beginning of the trust story — not the end.

That is why Biogénique developed:

3X PUR™

PURETÉ • QUALITÉ • PERFORMANCE

A simple way to understand what we examine in an actual finished product.

And for L-Carnitine + Green Tea, we can show you the batch evidence.

DON’T JUST READ OUR CLAIMS.

READ OUR COA.

Certificate of Analysis — Lot 231005

A Certificate of Analysis, or COA, is a technical quality document associated with a tested product or batch.

Most consumers never see one.

We think you should.

For our L-Carnitine + Green Tea quality review, the COA for Lot 231005 gives us something far more useful than another marketing adjective.

It gives us numbers.

Lot 231005

Manufactured: October 2023
Expiry: September 2026

Formula identified:

L-Carnitine — 500 mg
Green Tea Extract — 50 mg

And then the interesting part begins.

3X PUR™ DIMENSION 1

PURETÉ

What should not be there?

Quality is not only about what a capsule contains.

It is also about what testing says about unwanted contaminants.

For Lot 231005, the quality review included microbiological testing and heavy-metal testing.

MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY

Reported results included:

Total microbial count

<10 CFU/g

Yeast & mould

<10 CFU/g

Four specified pathogens

E. coli — Not Detected

Salmonella — Not Detected

Staphylococcus aureus — Not Detected

Pseudomonas aeruginosa — Not Detected

That means the four specified organisms examined in this quality test were not detected in the tested sample.

That is a much more meaningful statement than simply printing the word “clean” on a bottle.

HEAVY METALS: PUTTING THE NUMBERS INTO PERSPECTIVE

Heavy-metal testing becomes much easier to understand when you compare a measured result with the applicable maximum used in the quality specification.

Based on the reported Lot 231005 results and the limits used in our quality review, the results were approximately:

ARSENIC

~467× below the applicable limit

Another way to understand that:

The measured level was approximately 0.21% of the applicable limit.

Or approximately:

99.79% below the applicable maximum

CADMIUM

~900× below the applicable limit

The measured level was approximately 0.11% of the applicable limit.

Or approximately:

99.89% below the applicable maximum

LEAD

~280× below the applicable limit

The measured level was approximately 0.36% of the applicable limit.

Or approximately:

99.64% below the applicable maximum

MERCURY

~2,900× below the applicable limit

The measured level was approximately 0.034% of the applicable limit.

Or approximately:

99.97% below the applicable maximum

UP TO APPROXIMATELY 2,900× BELOW THE APPLICABLE HEAVY-METAL LIMIT

That is a powerful number.

But we want to explain it correctly.

It does not mean:

“Biogénique is 2,900× purer than another brand.”

We have not tested every competing product, and that would be an inappropriate comparison.

It means that for the relevant measured parameter in this identified batch, the reported result was approximately 1/2,900 of the applicable limit used for comparison.

That distinction makes the claim more credible — not less impressive.

We would rather show you the mathematics than invent a slogan.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Imagine two supplement bottles.

Bottle A says:

“Premium purity.”

Bottle B lets you see:

4 specified pathogens — Not Detected

Total microbial count — <10 CFU/g

Yeast & mould — <10 CFU/g

Arsenic — approximately 467× below limit

Cadmium — approximately 900× below limit

Lead — approximately 280× below limit

Mercury — approximately 2,900× below limit

Which one gives you more information?

That is the philosophy behind:

3X PUR™ VÉRIFIÉ

3X PUR™ DIMENSION 2

QUALITÉ

Is the finished capsule what it is supposed to be?

Purity is one part of quality.

The next question is conformity.

Does the product match the specifications established for it?

For Lot 231005, the quality documentation identifies:

L-Carnitine — 500 mg

Green Tea Extract — 50 mg

It also includes physical capsule specifications and capsule-weight criteria.

The stated capsule-weight specification was:

720 mg ±7.5%

The certificate reported:

666 mg per capsule

Result:

COMPLIES

Why is that important?

Because “quality” should mean more than a brand saying:

“Trust us.”

It should mean there are specifications.

There are measurements.

And the tested product is evaluated against those specifications.

WHAT DOES 720 mg ±7.5% ACTUALLY MEAN?

This is exactly the kind of technical language that confuses consumers.

So here is the simple version.

A specification of:

720 mg ±7.5%

means the finished capsule is allowed to fall within an established acceptable range around the target value.

The reported value of:

666 mg

fell within that permitted range and therefore complied with the stated specification.

This does not mean every milligram in the capsule is L-Carnitine.

The capsule also contains the green tea component and the other formulation materials necessary to manufacture the finished dosage form.

The important point is:

The finished capsule met the physical specification used for the batch.

3X PUR™ DIMENSION 3

PERFORMANCE

How does the finished capsule behave?

This may be the most interesting result in the COA.

The disintegration specification used in the quality review was:

≤30 MINUTES

Lot 231005 reportedly disintegrated in:

5 MINUTES

That means the observed disintegration time was:

only 16.7% of the maximum specification

or stated another way:

approximately 83% shorter than the 30-minute maximum

The finished capsule therefore passed its disintegration specification with substantial margin.

WHAT DOES “5-MINUTE DISINTEGRATION” MEAN?

Disintegration measures how long it takes a dosage form to break apart under the conditions of the laboratory test.

It is an important physical-performance measurement.

But responsible science requires another distinction.

We are not saying:

“5-minute disintegration means 6× better absorption.”

We are not saying:

“5-minute disintegration means 6× more weight loss.”

We are not saying:

“5-minute disintegration means 6× greater effectiveness.”

Those would require different evidence.

What the test tells us is simpler and defensible:

Lot 231005 disintegrated in approximately 5 minutes against a maximum specification of 30 minutes.

That is the performance result.

WHY COMBINE L-CARNITINE + GREEN TEA?

The quality story matters.

But so does the formulation.

Biogénique® combines:

500 mg L-Carnitine

with

Green Tea Extract

within a Health Canada-licensed Natural Health Product.

WHAT IS L-CARNITINE?

L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring compound involved in cellular energy metabolism.

One of its best-known physiological roles concerns the handling of long-chain fatty acids in relation to mitochondria — the structures within cells responsible for much of cellular energy production.

This biological role has led to decades of scientific research involving areas such as:

exercise metabolism,

physical performance,

muscle recovery,

fatigue during physical activity,

fat metabolism,

fat oxidation,

and antioxidant activity.

But biology alone does not give a company permission to make any claim it wants.

That is why Health Canada authorization and dosage context matter.

HEALTH CANADA NPN 80086440

An NPN identifies a Natural Health Product licensed within Health Canada’s regulatory framework.

The public product record allows consumers to verify important information associated with a licensed product.

For Biogénique®, that means consumers do not have to depend exclusively on our advertising.

You can independently verify the product licence.

That is the kind of trust we want.

WHAT HEALTH CANADA’S L-CARNITINE MONOGRAPH TELLS US

Health Canada’s L-Carnitine monograph addresses recognized conditions for products containing L-Carnitine under specified ingredient forms, quantities and conditions.

Its evidence base includes areas relating to:

Workout and athletic support

Muscle recovery following resistance training

Muscle tissue repair

Physical performance when combined with training

Delaying fatigue during physical activity

Supporting fat metabolism

Supporting fat oxidation

Antioxidant activity

But this needs to be understood correctly.

A general monograph is not the same thing as the authorized claim for every individual product.

Dose matters.

Ingredient form matters.

The exact licensed product matters.

That is why Biogénique distinguishes between the broader scientific monograph and the specific authorization associated with NPN 80086440.

WHY DOSE MATTERS

You may see L-Carnitine products containing:

500 mg

1,000 mg

2 g

3 g

or more.

The numbers can become confusing.

Here is the simple conversion:

500 mg = 0.5 g

1,000 mg = 1 g

2,000 mg = 2 g

3,000 mg = 3 g

4,000 mg = 4 g

Health Canada’s general monograph uses different quantities for different recognized purposes.

This is important because a scientific result produced at one dose should not automatically be used to market a different dose.

More is not automatically better.

The specific product label remains the guide for how the licensed product should be used.

WHY GREEN TEA?

Green tea — Camellia sinensis — contributes a complementary botanical component to the formulation.

Green tea naturally contains compounds that have been widely investigated in nutritional research.

The point is not to pretend that putting two popular ingredients together automatically creates a miracle product.

It does not.

The better question is:

Does the combination make sense within the licensed formulation and the consumer’s overall approach?

For Biogénique®, that approach is:

SUPPLEMENTATION + NUTRITION + MOVEMENT + CONSISTENCY

A capsule should support a responsible lifestyle.

It should not replace one.

WHERE IS THE SCIENCE?

Health Canada’s L-Carnitine monograph contains a substantial scientific reference base.

Several important areas of research include investigations into exercise metabolism, fatty-acid oxidation, recovery and antioxidant-related biomarkers.

Researchers cited in the evidence base include work from Wall and colleagues, Müller and colleagues, Volek and colleagues, Ho and colleagues, and Cao and colleagues.

The important takeaway is not that every study proves the same outcome.

It does not.

Scientific studies differ by:

dosage,

duration,

participant population,

exercise status,

diet,

formulation,

and outcome measured.

That is why Biogénique’s approach is:

SCIENCE BEFORE HYPE.

FAT OXIDATION IS NOT THE SAME THING AS WEIGHT LOSS

This distinction is essential.

Research into fat metabolism or fatty-acid oxidation does not mean that taking a supplement automatically causes weight loss.

Body weight is influenced by many factors, including:

Caloric intake

Physical activity

Metabolism

Sleep

Health status

Diet quality

Consistency

Individual physiology

That is why responsible weight-management positioning connects supplementation with dietary and physical-activity measures rather than presenting a capsule as a substitute for them.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT SUPPLEMENT?

A recognizable ingredient is only the beginning.

Before buying a natural health product, look deeper.

1. CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS?

For this formulation:

500 mg L-Carnitine + Green Tea Extract

Clear.

Simple.

No mystery blend.

2. IS THE PRODUCT LICENSED?

Health Canada NPN 80086440

Consumers can verify the licence.

3. WAS THE FINISHED PRODUCT TESTED?

For the identified sample lot:

Yes.

4. CAN YOU SEE THE QUALITY RESULTS?

For Lot 231005:

Yes.

5. DOES THE BRAND EXPLAIN THE RESULTS?

A COA full of numbers is not transparency if nobody understands what the numbers mean.

That is why Biogénique translates technical quality information into plain language.

WHAT “PURETÉ • QUALITÉ • PERFORMANCE” REALLY MEANS

The three words are not decorative.

They represent three different questions.

PURETÉ

What does testing say about unwanted contaminants and microbiological quality?

QUALITÉ

Did the finished product meet its formulation and physical specifications?

PERFORMANCE

Did the dosage form behave within the performance specification established for it?

Together:

3X PUR™

PURETÉ • QUALITÉ • PERFORMANCE

WHY WE DON’T SAY “2,900× PURER”

Because that would oversimplify what the laboratory result means.

Instead we say:

UP TO APPROXIMATELY 2,900× BELOW THE APPLICABLE HEAVY-METAL LIMIT

That statement describes the actual relationship between the reported result and the applicable comparison limit for the relevant parameter.

That is more scientifically precise.

And precision creates trust.

WHAT THE COA DOES NOT PROVE

This matters too.

The COA does not prove:

Guaranteed weight loss

Guaranteed absorption

Guaranteed clinical effectiveness

Guaranteed results for every person

That every future lot will have identical numerical results

That Biogénique is “2,900× purer” than another brand

The COA provides batch-specific quality evidence.

That is exactly what it should do.

WHY BIOGÉNIQUE® SHOWS THE PROOF

You should not have to choose between:

“Trust the science”

and

“Trust the brand.”

We want you to be able to inspect both.

Health Canada licence

Ingredient transparency

Scientific context

Batch-specific testing

Certificate of Analysis

Plain-language explanation

That is what “Quality First” means to us.

MADE IN CANADA

Biogénique® is building a Canadian supplement standard around something consumers increasingly demand:

transparency.

Not just beautiful packaging.

Not just impressive words.

Not just a large number on the front of a bottle.

Evidence that can be examined.

THE BIOGÉNIQUE® DIFFERENCE

When you choose L-Carnitine + Green Tea, you are not simply choosing:

L-Carnitine.

You are choosing a system of evidence around the product.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is an NPN?

An NPN is a Natural Product Number associated with a Natural Health Product licensed within Health Canada’s regulatory framework.

Biogénique® L-Carnitine + Green Tea carries NPN 80086440.

What is a COA?

COA means Certificate of Analysis.

It is a quality document showing testing or specification information associated with a particular product or lot.

Does the COA prove the supplement works?

No.

A COA is primarily quality evidence.

Clinical effectiveness requires different evidence.

Does “2,900× below the limit” mean 2,900× purer?

No.

It means the reported measurement for the relevant heavy metal was approximately 1/2,900 of the applicable maximum used in the comparison.

Does 5-minute disintegration mean 6× faster absorption?

No.

Disintegration and absorption are not the same thing.

The result means the capsule broke apart in approximately 5 minutes under the test conditions compared with a maximum specification of 30 minutes.

Is faster disintegration automatically better?

Not necessarily.

The important point is that the finished dosage form complied with its established specification.

Is L-Carnitine a magic weight-loss ingredient?

No.

Weight management depends on many factors.

The product should be used according to its licensed label and as part of the appropriate dietary and physical-activity approach described in its authorized use.
