L-Carnitine is a nitrogen or trimetilbetaína molecule present in all animal tissues, particularly in skeletal muscle, and to a lesser amount in the blood, milk and plants. Involved in the transport of long chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane for subsequent energy production.
The oxidation of fatty acids is the primary energy source for many muscles.
All vertebrate organisms are capable of synthesizing carnitine, although this may be provided by specialized diet supplements.
The primary function of L-Carnitine is to be molecular transporter, so that moves the fatty acids of long chain across the inner mitochondrial membrane into the matrix of the mitochondria, where they will be attacked by oxidative enzymes and thus metabolized producing energy.
Increases the rate of metabolism of fatty acids producing a favorable effect of fat burning in the body.
The L-Carnitine starts natural fat removal process and prevents build up.
