L-CARNITINE is a nutritional supplement which is very appropriate for people practicing different endurance sports as well as for humans with a primary or secondary carnitine deficiency in the organism.
The carnitine is a natural chemical compound . It is responsible for the transport of long-chain fatty acids through the mitochondrial membrane of the cell. It supplies substrate (fatty acids) for the beta-oxidation and so it provides energy production into the mitochondrial matrix of the cells (especially into the skeletal muscle and myocardial cells). As a result it increases the physical endurance of the organism.
The carnitine is synthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine in the liver and kidneys. The human body contains about 20-25 g l-carnitine. 98 % of this amount is stored into skeletal muscle and into the heart muscle. The average human receives 10-100 mg carnitine daily with the food, which in turn is reabsorbed in the gastrointestinal tract by using specific transport machinery. But the real needs of the organism are greater and an additional quantity of carnitine is synthesized in the body. However, in some conditions (like increased physical activity for example) the needs can exceed the daily supply which can be compensated by using the L-CARNITINE as a food supplement.
Some genetic, liver and kidney diseases, as well as the consumption of fat-rich food or poor in lysine and methionine diets (these are the amino acids important for the carnitine synthesis), the administration of some drugs, all this can cause a carnitine deficiency. This condition is characterized with a fatigue, chest and muscle pain, hypotonia, weakness and confusion. In all cases of a proven carnitine deficit the administration of L-CARNITINE as a dietary supplement is required.
Each capsule L-CARNITINE contains 500 mg L-Carnitine (L-Tartrate).
Dosage:
1. In all cases of heavy physical workloads - 1 capsule L-CARNITINE, 2-3 times per day. 2. For increasing the fat metabolism - 2 capsules L-CARNITINE, 2 times a day. 3. In cases of: carnitine deficiency due to an alcohol abuse, chronic fatigue syndrome, cardiovascular diseases etc., please ask your doctor for the appropriate dose.
Packs: 60 caps. 500 mg each
