Bio-A Nutri L-Carnitine
OVERVIEW
Carnitine, derived from an amino acid, is found in nearly all cells of the body. Its name is derived from Latin carnus or flesh, as the compound was isolated from meat. Animal products like meat, fish, poultry and milk are the best sources. In general, the redder the meat, the higher its Carnitine content. Carnitine occurs in two forms, known as D and L, which are mirror images of each other. Only L-Carnitine is active in the body and the form found in food. A well-balanced, non-vegetarian Western diet is estimated to provide 100 – 300 mg of L-Carnitine per day. However, biosynthesis of L-Carnitine accounts only for 25% of the daily needs. Thus, supplementation either in the diet or as a nutritional supplement is required.
L-Carnitine plays an important role in energy production. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be oxidized to produce energy. It also removes toxic compounds from mitochondria to prevent accumulation. Additionally, a sufficiently high concentration of free L-carnitine inside the mitochondria can maintain energy generating processes that depend on the availability of free coenzyme A. However, if there is only little free coenzyme A available, L-Carnitine can bind the acetyl-units temporarily and ensure sufficient energy is generated.
As L-Carnitine is mainly accumulated in muscle and heart, with its role in energy metabolism, it is proposed to play crucial roles in diseased populations such as those with heart disease, as well as among healthy athletes where it has been shown to modulate exercise capacity and recovery.
WHY POWERLIFE?
Powerlife Bio-A Nutri L-Carnitine features L-Carnitine L-Tartrate from Carnipure®️, a patented source that contains the highest L-Carnitine concentration of any currently commercially available non-hygroscopic salt form with food-grade equivalent L-Tartaric acid in a molar ratio of 2:1 (approximately 68% L-Carnitine and 32% L-Tartaric acid). The L-Carnitine L-Tartrate of Powerlife Bio-A Nutri L-Carnitine facilitates better absorption of L-Carnitine in the body than common L-Carnitine , providing the most effective and stable form of L-Carnitine for energy metabolism, weight management and muscle recovery. Besides that, Powerlife Bio-A Nutri L-Carnitine contains the optimal dose of L-Carnitine for body’s requirement.
Powerlife Bio-A Nutri L-Carnitine works best together with Powerlife Bio-A Nutri Ubiquinol. It was reported that the duo exerts cardioprotective effects as well as improving quality of life (QoL) for patients with heart disease. Powerlife Bio-A Nutri L-Carnitine plays an important role in energy production in the myocardium and inhibits fatty acid ester reposition that occurs during ischemic events. Whilst Powerlife Bio-A Nutri Ubiquinol plays a role in energy production process in the mitochondria and works as an antioxidant too. Besides that, study has reported the beneficial effects of L-Carnitine and Ubiquinol in improving migraine symptoms and reduce serum levels of lactate after 8 weeks*. Supplementing both Powerlife Bio-A Nutri L-Carnitine and Powerlife Bio-A Nutri Ubiquinol could modulate energy metabolism and improve post-exercise muscle recovery in athletes. Furthermore, the duo could improve sperm health, protecting the sperm from the negative effects of reactive oxygen species as well as sperm maturation.
