What Is L-Carnitine?
Mitochondria, the powerhouses found within human cells, produce the
energy that vital tissues need to keep us vibrant and healthy. Healthy
levels of carnitine support optimum functioning of mitochondria and
your body’s energy production.
Maintaining optimal mitochondrial function is important for many
aspects of healthy aging.
L-Carnitine Benefits
-
Helps maintain cellular metabolic activity
-
Supports healthy concentration of nitric oxide, which helps support
already-healthy blood pressure
-
Supports the brain's natural defenses against age-related memory
& cognitive decline
-
Helps maintain healthy body composition
Protecting Cellular Energy
L-carnitine is an amino acid produced in your body. It plays an
important role in moving fatty acids into the mitochondria of your
cells. This is important, since as we age, there is a steady
decline in cellular energy. The primary reason is that our
mitochondria aren’t functioning properly. Healthy levels of
carnitine support optimum functioning of mitochondria.
Mitochondria, the powerhouses found within human cells, produce the
energy that vital tissues need to keep us vibrant and healthy.
Healthy levels of carnitine support optimum functioning of
mitochondria.1 The problem is that as we age, levels of carnitine
decline in all our tissues, reducing cellular energy production and
metabolic activity.2
Boosting carnitine levels with supplements can help:
-
Maintain cellular metabolic activity by assisting in the
intracellular transport of fatty acids from the cell fluid
into the mitochondria, where fats are oxidized to generate
cellular energy.1
-
Inhibit excess accumulation of cellular debris.3
-
Support a healthy concentration of nitric oxide, which
helps endothelial cells relax and maintain blood flow,
supporting already-healthy blood pressure.4
-
Maintain healthy body fat composition, which in turn
supports healthy insulin response and blood sugar levels
already within normal range.5,6
-
Support brain cells’ defenses against age-related memory
and cognitive decline.7
