What does Liquid Carnitine 1000 do?
L-Carnitine is essential for the production of energy from fatty acids by virtue of its role in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production (in a process called beta oxidation). L-Carnitine enhances the rate of ATP production (also called oxidative phosphorylation), which is a key step in energy production throughout the body. By enhancing fatty acid metabolism via beta oxidation, carnitine can help maintain healthy triglyceride levels. Major body tissues, particularly the heart and skeletal muscles, depend on fatty acid oxidation as their primary source of energy. L-Carnitine promotes efficient heart function. L-Carnitine is produced in the body from the essential amino acids lysine and methionine. One gram of L-Carnitine is equivalent to the amount of carnitine found in 3.5 lbs of steak. Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) is also involved in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria. Biosint L-Carnitine is manufactured by Sigma-Tau Industries, S.p.A.
