Now L-Carnitine 500 mg, Clinically Tested
L-Carnitine was discovered in 1905, is a water-soluble short-chain carboxylic acid and is normally synthesized by the human body from 2 amino acids, lysine and methionine. It is one of the most popular substances used extensively in fat-dissolving preparations.
It is an important substance in terms of one of the mechanisms of metabolism of fatty acids in the mitochondria, and essentially of the hydrolysis of fats and the production of energy. 98% of L-carnitine in the human body is located in muscle groups and is part of the enzyme transport system of medium chain fatty acids inside the mitochondria of muscle cells, where their oxidation takes place for energy production. In vegetarians or people with insufficient L-carnitine synthesis, when its levels in muscle groups are lower than normal, the L-carnitine supplement is really necessary.
L-carnitine is useful in cardiovascular health, weight control, resistance to viruses, increased aerobic endurance and recovery from high-intensity exercise.
It also helps in the process of thermogenesis and regulates glycogenesis. Also, research has shown that it increases sperm motility.
