L-Carnitine is an amino acid found in high concentrations in heart and liver tissue, where, inside the cells (mitochondria), L-Carnitine helps transforms fats into energy. It facilitates the metabolism of carbohydrates and enhances the rate of oxidative phosphorylation, the final stage of ATP (i.e., energy) production. L-Carnitine works synergistically with Co-Q10, an antioxidant and energy cofactor that is found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. It also helps regulate heart rhythm.
Biosint L-Carnitine is manufactured by Sigma-Tau Industries, S.p.A. (Rome, Italy), the pioneer in L-Carnitine science.
Suggested Use: Take 1 to 4 capsules per day, or as directed by your qualified health care consultant.
