L-Carnitine -
l-Carnitine is an amino acid found abundantly in skeletal and heart muscle. It functions primarily to support fat utilization, and also acts as a carrier of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized and converted to energy. l-Carnitine also facilitates the removal of short and medium chain fatty acids from the mitochondria that accumulate during normal metabolic processes.
What Is It?
l-Carnitine is an amino acid found abundantly in skeletal
and heart muscle. It functions primarily to support fat
utilization by acting as a carrier of fatty acids into the
mitochondria, where they are oxidized and converted to
energy. l-Carnitine also facilitates the removal of short
and medium chain fatty acids from the mitochondria
that accumulate during normal metabolic processes. In
studies, l-carnitine has demonstrated the ability to
promote oxygenation of heart muscle and maintain
healthy enzyme activity, support cardiovascular energy,
enhance exercise recovery, and maintain healthy lipid
metabolism.*
Uses For l-Carnitine
Cardiovascular Support: A randomized double-blind
placebo-controlled trial involving 101 volunteers indicated
that l-carnitine maintained healthy lipid peroxide and
lactate dehydrogenase cardiac enzyme activity. l-Carnitine
may also support ventricular function and superoxide
dismutase enzyme activity. Long-term l-carnitine
supplementation has demonstrated positive support for
cardiovascular health after a 3-year follow-up in adult
subjects. In a recent six-month, randomized, double-blind
placebo-controlled trial, l-carnitine supplementation
supported healthy lipid metabolism in volunteers.*
Support For Exercise Recovery: A recent placebocontrolled
clinical study conducted at Ball State University
in Indiana found that l-carnitine-l-tartrate supplementation
significantly supported physical recovery from high
intensity exercise. This allows for less tissue damage,
decreased production of free radicals and less muscle
soreness following exercise. In a prospective doubleblind
placebo-controlled trial, carnitine supplementation
supported training for elite athletes.*
What Is The Source?
l-Carnitine-l-tartrate contains 68% pure l-carnitine and
