Description
Highly stabilized form of L-carnitine supporting cardiovascular health and recovery from exercise | Highly stabilized form of L-carnitine supporting cardiovascular health and recovery from exercise L-Carnitine is an amino acid found abundantly in skeletal and heart muscle. It functions primarily to support fat utilization, and also acts as a carrier of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized and converted to energy. L-Carnitine also facilitates the removal of short and medium chain fatty acids from the mitochondria that accumulate during normal metabolic processes. A randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of L-carnitine involving 101 volunteers indicated that L-carnitine maintained healthy cardiac enzymes including lipid peroxides and lactate dehydrogenase. In combination with other cardiovascular support agents, L-carnitine supported ventricular function and superoxide dismutase enzyme activity in human volunteers. Long-term L-carnitine supplementation indicated positive support for cardiovascular health after a 3-year follow-up in adult subjects. A recent placebo-controlled clinical study conducted at Ball State University in Indiana has found that L-carnitine-L-tartrate supplementation helps physical recovery from high intensity exercise. L-Carnitine-L-tartrate contains 68% pure L-carnitine and 32% natural L-tartaric acid.
