l-Carnitine
Manufacturer Pure Encapsulations
Size 60 caps
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.
