- What is L-Carnitine?
- NOW® L-Carnitine Liquid has all of the properties of carnitine in a highly absorbable liquid form.
- L-Carnitine is a non-essential amino acid that helps to maintain overall good health by facilitating the transfer of fatty acid groups into the mitochondrial membrane for cellular energy production.
- It naturally occurs in red meat and other animal-source foods, but NOW recommend supplementation to obtain optimal levels of this excellent amino acid.
- NOW® L-Carnitine is the purest form, clinically tested, and vegetarian (non-animal sourced).
- Carnipure® offers purest L-Carnitine and is a registered trademark of Lonza Ltd, Switzerland and is supported by numerous studies.
- About L-Carnitine:
- L-Carnitine is synthesized in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine and plays a critical role in energy production by transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, our cells’ “power plants,” for energy production.
- Energy production results in toxic metabolic byproducts. L-Carnitine helps to transport these materials out of mitochondria, preventing their accumulation.
- Research suggests that as we age, carnitine levels decline, which may lead to a reduction in the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane and deterioration of mitochondrial function. Loss of optimal mitochondrial function is believed to contribute to the aging process.
- The heart runs primarily on energy produced from fat; consequently, Carnitine is highly concentrated in cardiac tissues and may help to support normal cardiac function.
