Description:
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.
