Regulates fat metabolism
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. A randomized
double blind placebo controlled trial of L-carnitine vs.
placebo involving 101 volunteers indicated that L-carnitine
modulated cardiac enzymes including lipid peroxides and
lactate dehydrogenase. In combination with other
cardiovascular support agents,
L-carnitine supported ventricular function and superoxide
dismutase enzyme activity in human volunteers. Long-term
L-carnitine supplementation demonstrated positive support
for cardiovascular health after a 3-year follow-up in adult
subjects. A recent placebo-controlled clinical study
conducted at Ball State University in Indiana has found that
L-carnitine-L-tartrate supplementation significantly helps
physical recovery from high intensity exercise. This allows
for less tissue damage, decreased production of free
radicals and less muscle soreness following exercise.
L-Carnitine-L-tartrate contains 68% pure L-carnitine and 32%
natural L-tartaric acid.
L-Carnitine has the potential to improve fat metabolism,
increase endurance, and enhance the normal functioning of
the heart.
