Jarrow Formulations Jarrow L Carnitine 500 (100caps)

L-Carnitine is an amino acid found in high concentrations in human heart and liver tissue, where it participates in metabolizing fatty acids into energy by the mitochondria. L-Carnitine also facilitates the metabolism of carbohydrates and enhances the rate of oxidative phosphorylation L-Carnitine works synergistically with CO-Q10, an antioxidant and energy co-factor that is found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
Key Points:

• L-Carnitine is an amino acid that’s responsible for transporting fats into the trillion cells in your body so the cells can burn it as energy to power your body and vital organs.
• Your cardiovascular system, as the body's prime user of energy, relies on L-Carnitine to operate normally.
• For years athletes and weekend warriors of all kinds have used L-Carnitine to optimize workouts. Help your body create cellular energy with L-Carnitine, plus nutritionally support a healthy cardiovascular function.
• Unfortunately as the body ages L-Carnitine levels can decline.
• This amino acid is needed to help release energy from fats.
• It transports this energy into the “powerhouse” center of your body's brain cells, plus all other cells in your body.
• L-Carnitine also contributes to the vital production of neurotransmitters, which the brain needs for healthy mental function.
• L-Carnitine…think of it as a “natural brain fuel” that promotes an energized mind.

L-carnitine occurs naturally in animal products. Generally, only very small amounts of it are found in plants, with few exceptions, such as avocado and some fermented soy products, e.g. tempeh. L-carnitine is a chiral molecule. Its stereoisomer D-carnitine does not have the biological activity of L-carnitine and may even antagonize L-carnitine in its biological roles. L-carnitine is synthesized in the human body, chiefly in the liver and kidneys, from the essential amino acids L-lysine and L-methionine. Niacin, vitamins B6 and C, and iron are involved in its biosynthesis. L-carnitine is described as a conditionally essential nutrient. This refers to certain conditions where exogenous L-carnitine may be required, such as in long-term parenteral nutrition, those on valproic acid therapy and possibly for the elderly.
