>> Amino Acids > L-Carnitine> 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 sources.
Pure L-Carnitine is an amino acid that normally attracts water which can cause it to deteriorate rapidly. We use a tartrate form to help ensure that NOW L-Carnitine maintains stability and full potency.
A major cause of aging is the deterioration of the energy-producing components of the cell which results in reduced cellular metabolic activity, the accumulation of cellular debris, and eventual death of the cell.
The most effective antiaging therapy to maintain youthful cellular energy metabolism is the amino acid L-carnitine, which functions via several mechanisms to protect cells from the effects of aging. L-carnitine assists in the transport of fat through the cell membrane and into the mitochondria within the cell, where these fats are oxidized to produce the cellular energy ATP.
L-carnitine has been approved by the FDA under the name Carnitor as a therapy for low energy levels, congestive heart disease, and other diseases associated with low cellular energy. Numerous published studies have shown that L-carnitine is effective in treating a wide range of diseases including the neurological diseases of aging, immune dysfunction, and diabetic complications.
