CARNITINE

Carnitine contains acetyl-carnitine which supplies carnitine, an amino acid derivative present in the human body mainly in the skeletal muscle, kidneys, lungs and heart. The organism is able to produce it from lysine and methionine. However, it is useful to make it more available in circumstances with an increased need of carnitine, especially during sports activities. Carnitine in the form of acetyl has a greater affinity for the nervous system, where it acts as an energetic and neuroprotective factor.

Carnitine also acts as a fatty acid-carrier during the process of beta-oxidation, in which they are demolished for energy purposes inside the inner mitochondrial membrane.

During the phases of intense aerobic effort, it is important to benefit from a good carnitine availability to ensure an energy supply from fats and to guarantee an optimal performance. Carnitine improves the energy yield and helps to save muscular glycogen as well as to delay fatigue and encourage post-workout recovery.

The beneficial effects of carnitine were used with some success to treat overweight people, to support the cardiovascular wellbeing of the elderly, to counteract sterility associated with poor sperm motility and to improve learning and memory abilities. Its deficiency causes fat accumulation in the adipose tissues.

Carnitine is indicated for overweight subjects, those suffering from fatigue or reduced vitality, and athletes who practise endurance sports.
