TwinLab Mega L-Carnitine 500mg
L-Carnitine is
primarily involved with transporting long-chain fatty acids from the cell cytosol into the mitochondria.
Since long chain fatty acids are oxidized (burned) in the mitochondria, L- Carnitine facilitates production of energy from fat.
Oxidation (combining with oxygen) of the BCAAs is facilitated by L- Carnitine, providing a link between protein catabolism and cellular energy.
Skeletal muscle contains 90% of total body carnitine in humans.
L-Carnitine's Function during Aerobic Exercise:
• Helps Increase Fat Metabolism
• Increases Endurance
• Improves Definition
• Increases Utilization of Fatty Acids as Energy
• Decreases Lactate Build Up
• May Help in the Reduction of Ketones in the Blood. (important for diabetics)
