Description
Carnitine is an amino acid that plays an essential role in the metabolism of fatty acids. It is a vital nutrient that is naturally produced in the body but can also be obtained from food sources such as red meat, vegetables, milk, etc. Carnitine is mainly synthesized in the liver and kidneys; however, the brain and muscles can also produce it. Carnitine occurs in two forms: L-Carnitine and D-Carnitine.
L-Carnitine is the active form of carnitine that plays a role in fatty acid metabolism and energy generation, while D-Carnitine cannot be used by the body for energy and can disrupt the function of L-Carnitine. Nature’sfield L-Carnitine ( as L-Carnitine Tartrate) provides 1000mg of the purest and clinically-tested form of L-Carnitine for energy and metabolism. L-Carnitine works by transporting fatty acids from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria. Once in the mitochondria, a series of enzymatic reactions results in the breakdown of fatty acids to produce energy. This is a critical step in the metabolism of fatty acids because their hydrophobic nature doesn’t enable them to cross the inner mitochondrial membrane on their own. Hence, L-carnitine serves as a shuttle that binds to fatty acid molecules to form acylcarnitine, which can then be transported across the membrane.
Although naturally produced by the body, you can become deficient in L-carnitine. This could be due to ga enetic disorder, inadequate intake, diarrhoea, liver or kidney disease, and use of certain medications. This can result in symptoms such as fatigue, cardiomyopathy, etc. Hence, our natural L-carnitine supplement can reduce this deficiency, speed up metabolism and fat burning, and improve cognitive function.
