- Nerve
- Heart
- Liver
- Sperm cells
That is where it participates in metabolizing fatty acids into energy by the mitochondria. As an antioxidant, Acetyl-L-Carnitine protects neurons from damage caused by superoxide radicals.
Benefits:
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine protects neurons from damage caused by superoxide radicals.
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine supplementation supports energy utilization by its effects on fatty acid metabolism in the mitochondria.
- L-Arginine is utilized to produce nitric oxide by the action of the enzyme tetrahydrobiopterin (THBP)
- Arginine is important in bioenergetics because it is used by the body to produce creatine.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is involved in other aspects of neuronal metabolism because its molecular structure resembles the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetyl-L-Carnitine supplementation supports energy utilization by its effects on fatty acid metabolism in the mitochondria.
L-Arginine is utilized to produce nitric oxide by the action of the enzyme tetrahydrobiopterin (THBP). L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid synthesized by the body from ornithine. Arginine is important in bioenergetics because it is used by the body to produce creatine.
