L-Carnitine often used as a brain booster, due to its ability to increase alertness and mitochondrial capacity while providing support for the neurons. L-Carnitine supplements supply pure, natural L-Carnitine in capsule form.
INDICATIONS
L-Carnitine are compounds able to alleviate the effects of aging and disease on mitochondria, while increasing the mitochondria’s potential to burn fat.
Carnitine often used as a brain booster, due to its ability to increase alertness and mitochondrial capacity while providing support for the neurons.
L-Carnitine has been shown to be very effective at alleviating the side effects of aging, like neurological decline and chronic fatigue.
L-Carnitine supplementation is also a very safe method of improving insulin sensitivity and blood vessel health, particularly for people with delicate or weakened cardiac health.
L-Carnitine can also protect neurons and repair certain damage, such as that caused by diabetes and diabetic neuropathy.
FUNCTIONS
L-Carnitine is necessary for fatty acid metabolism and energy production in cardiac and skeletal muscle. † It is involved in fatty acid oxidation as part of the carnitine shuttle.
Carnitine shuttles fatty acids from the cytosol (the cell fluid) into the mitochondria (the cell’s powerhouses) for oxidation and energy production.
Carnitine is necessary in muscle whenever fat is utilized as an energy source. Heart muscle always uses fat for its continuous energy demands.
L-Carnitine may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals who wish to support heart muscle function or skeletal muscle performance.
Skeletal muscle begins using fat only after its glycogen reserves are exhausted. This happens after about one hour of continuous, strenuous exercise, e.g., long-distance running, bicycling, swimming, or mountain climbing.
Widely distributed in foods from animal, but not plant sources, L-Carnitine is also synthesized by the liver and kidney from two essential amino acids, lysine and methionine.
Human skeletal and cardiac muscles contain relatively high L-carnitine concentrations which they receive from plasma, since they are incapable of L-Carnitine. biosynthesis themselves.
About 95 % of the body’s L carnitine stores are located in skeletal and heart muscle. low L-Carnitine may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals who wish to support heart muscle function or skeletal muscle performance.
Most cells have a specific carnitine transporter. Dietary L-Carnitine comes mainly from animal foods.
Vegetarian diets often provide only trace amounts, since vegetables, fruits, and cereals are negligible sources of L-Carnitine.
Each capsule contains:
L-Carnitine…………………………………………………………….250 mg
SUGGESTED USE
One capsule per day or as directed as a physician. It is recommended that L-Carnitine be taken with meals. Capsules may be pulled apart and the powder mixed with food or liquids if desired.
