Support Heart & Brain function, diabetes and fight fatigue with L-Carnitine SupplementationL-Carnitine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a vital role in cellular energy production. It occurs naturally in red meat and other animal source foods, but we recommend supplementation to obtain optimal levels. NOW® L-Carnitine is the purest form, clinically tested, and vegetarian (non-animal sourced). Let's take a closer look at the benefits of L-Carnitine supplementation. What is L-Carnitine? L-Carnitine is an amino acid that acts as a shuttle to transport fatty acids into your cells to be used for energy. It’s found in nearly every cell of your body, but is concentrated in heart and muscle cells. Your body can make carnitine from scratch, but it relies on two essential nutrients—lysine and methionine—to do so. Health Benefits of L-Carnitine The research on L-carnitine is promising. Studies show that it may help with heart conditions, brain function, diabetes, fatigue, and more. Heart health: L-carnitine supplements have been shown to lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels, as well as improve blood flow in people with heart disease. One study showed that L-carnitine reduced angina attacks and improved exercise tolerance in people with coronary artery disease. Brain function: Some studies suggest that L-carnitine supplements may help improve symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain. Diabetes: Taking an L-carnitine supplement may help improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. One study showed that people who took an L-carnitine supplement had better blood sugar control and less nerve damage than those who didn’t take the supplement. Fatigue: Taking an L-carnitine supplement may help reduce fatigue in older adults, cancer patients, and people with chronic kidney disease or anemia. The Bottom Line L-carnitine is an amino acid that helps to facilitate the transfer of fatty acids into mitochondria for cellular energy production.* It occurs naturally in red meat and other animal source foods, but we recommend supplementation to obtain optimal levels of this excellent amino acid.
