L-carnitine plays a key role in the transport of higher fatty acids in the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to form ATP (fats are converted into energy needed by the body), thereby contributing to the utilization of fats.
The next function of L-carnitine is to help preserve proteins in the body (by preventing the use of amino acids for energy needs). It is necessary to maintain an optimal physiological state and normal muscle function (the content of L-carnitine in muscle tissue is 20-50 mg / kg), participates in the processes of energy supply to muscle tissue, in particular the heart muscle. L-carnitine is effective in heart failure, angina pectoris, arrhythmias. It effectively contributes to the increase of exercise tolerance in both sick and healthy people.
Dietary supplement "L-carnitine" helps to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, normalizes fat metabolism in the liver, inhibits the development of atherosclerosis, optimizes metabolism, improves liver function (this is of great importance for people suffering from alcoholism); and also promotes the removal of metabolites, toxic substances and the so-called "carbon waste" from the cytoplasm.
Dietary food supplement "L-carnitine" helps the body to manage its energy reserves most efficiently, that is, it can be used to increase the body's endurance, improve heart function. It contributes to the reduction of subcutaneous fat, increase in muscle mass, faster recovery of the body after training and, in general, favorably affects the condition of people involved in sports. Athletes often have a deficiency of L-carnitine, as a result of which cardiac activity worsens, triglycerides in the blood increase.
During training and competition, glycogen stores are saved, oxygen supply to cells is significantly improved, which explains increased endurance.
The main biological properties of L-carnitine:
- transports long molecules of fatty acids inside the cell and their beta-oxygenation, that is, “combustion” in mitochondria;
- promotes the removal of metabolites, toxic substances and the so-called "carbon waste" from the cytoplasm;
- activates the use of fats for energy production;
- increases vitality and improves tone;
- improves the functioning of the immune system;
- activates the elimination of toxins from the body.
The dietary supplement "L-carnitine" is recommended for use as an aid in order to correct the diet.:
- in weight loss programs ;
- in programs for cleansing the body, detoxification, rejuvenation ;
- with cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, myocarditis ;
- in sports medicine - during heavy physical exertion ;
- with fatty degeneration of the liver; alcoholism and domestic drunkenness ;
- in the prevention of atherosclerosis and its complications, in case of heart attack, stroke ;
- with chronic fatigue syndrome, asthenic syndrome ;
- with a decrease in appetite due to nervous exhaustion .
Vitamin C , which is part of the dietary supplement L-carnitine, protects low-density lipoprotein cholesterol from oxidation and, accordingly, the walls of blood vessels from the deposition of oxidized forms of cholesterol. Vitamin C also protects the body from toxins produced during metabolism. Dietary supplement L-carnitine can be used to reduce the risk of diseases in which the use of anabolic agents is indicated.
