ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the formation of a salt between carnitine and creatine which has unique and useful attributes over creatine monohydrate or carnitine base. An acid-base reaction between carnitine and creatine causes the formation of the salt composition. Further, the invention provides a salt form of carnitine which is very stable and non-hygroscopic. The carnitine creatinate product of the present invention is represented by the following: ##STR1## wherein X is an integer between about 0 and 5.
