L-Carnitine by Pure Encapsulations (120 caps)

L-Carnitine is an amino acid found abundantly in skeletal and heart muscle. It functions primarily to support fat-utilization and also acts as a carrier of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized and converted to energy. L-Carnitine also facilitates the removal of short and medium chain fatty acids from the mitochondria that accumulate during normal metabolic processes.

A randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of L-Carnitine involving 101 volunteers indicated that L-Carnitine maintained healthy cardiac enzymes, including lipid peroxides and lactate dehydrogenase. In combination with other cardiovascular support agents, L-Carnitine supported ventricular function and superoxide dismutase enzyme activity in human volunteers. Long-term L-Carnitine supplementation indicated positive support for cardiovascular health after a 3-year follow-up in adult subjects.

A recent placebo-controlled clinical study conducted at Ball State University in Indiana has found that L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate supplementation helps physical recovery from high intensity exercise. l-Carnitine-L-Tartrate contains 68% pure L-Carnitine and 32% natural L-Tartaric acid. L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate is a highly stabilized form of L-Carnitine supporting cardiovascular health and recovery from exercise.
