L-Carnitine
100 Capsules • 500 mg
Carnitine is manufactured by the liver and kidneys out of two amino acids, lysine and methionine, into what is called a quaternary amine. It is generally found in some foods, including meat, fish, and dairy products.

Carnitine’s most important role in the organism is to get fuel into the cells, specifically the mitochondria. The mitochondria can be seen as the cellular furnace. They turn fuel in food into energy or ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy molecule.

The organism has two primary sources of fuel: sugar and fatty acids. The metabolism of fat produces approximately twice as much energy as sugar. Since the heart is constantly at work, even when resting, it requires a lot of energy to sustain itself. Fatty acids are the cardia fuel of choice.

Carnitine is imperative for cardiac health because without it, fatty acids can not cross into the mitochondrial furnace. The carnitine molecule escorts the fatty acids through the outer mitochondrial membrane so that they can be turned into energy. In the absence of carnitine, fatty acids can’t get in. If the heart can’t get fatty acids, sugar is used as backup fuel. But sugar often does not provide enough energy for the heart to keep beating regularly, therefore leading to serious cardiac complications.

Carnitine actions could be important for the heart. Its intake is recommended for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, and abnormal heart functioning.

Also, research has shown that people who take carnitine while engaging in an exercise regimen are less likely to experience muscle soreness.
