Description | L-Carnitine is an essential cofactor for several enzymes necessary for transport of free long chain fatty acids. It is intended to provide nutritive support for healthy cardiovascular function, energy, musculoskeletal function, and metabolic pathways.* Supports Fat Burning*
L-Carnitine occurs naturally in animal products (esp. beef) with smaller amounts in dairy, fish and chicken and in very small amounts in avocado and some fermented soy products such as tempeh. Methionine and lysine serve as precursors to the synthesis of L-Carnitine. High stress levels, parenteral nutrition individuals and elderly individuals may not be able to synthesize sufficient quantities of L-Carnitine. Under these circumstances L-Carnitine is considered a conditionally essential nutrient and supplementation may be required. Children at 2-1/2 years of age synthesize L-Carnitine at about 30% the adult rate. Full capacity does not occur until age 15.* L-Carnitine has cardioprotective activity, triglyceride lowering and HDL raising benefits. L-Carnitine may protect neurological protective properties.* |
