N Acetyl L- Carnitine (250 gms Powder)

[500 Servings]

• Plays an important role in energy metabolism
• May help to reduce free radical damage
• Supports optimum mental health

N Acetyl L- Carnitine is produced from the amino acids lysine and methionine in the body. N Acetyl L-Carnitine plays an essential role in fat metabolism and optimum muscle function

N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine, the ester form of Carnitine which is a naturally occurring amino acid metabolized from Lysine and Methionine. Carnitine has many essential roles in the body, particularly in the metabolism of fatty acids.

Some people can suffer from a carnitine deficiencies due to stress of the demands of exercise. In these situations a carnitine supplementation can help to increase the availability of carnitine in the body for various essential metabolic functions.

Oxidative stress and damage caused by free radical production is suggested to be one of the main causes of aging and age related disease. Researchers are always looking for various antioxidants forms which can be used to combat the damage caused by free radicals to protect vital organs and maintain optimum bodily functions.

One of the many suggested benefits of N Acetyl L- Carnitine supplementation is that it can help to reduce inflammation and the damage caused to cells from free radicals. Although carnitine is largely found in muscle tissue, supplementation with l-carnitine has been documented to cross the blood brain barrier. The advantage of this is that it may help to protect vital elements of the brain which influence aging and cognitive function.

Another potential benefit of supplementing with N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine is improvement in mood, again this is suggested to result from a reduction in oxidative stress and greater protection in the part of the brain which produces essential feel good hormones.

Carnitine and recovery

The biochemical events that result from intense exercise can lead to a breakdown in muscle tissue (catabolism) and an increase in free radicals from the up regulation of energy metabolism. Various inflammatory reactions can occur which result in damage to cell membranes, muscle tissue and other cellular damage. By supplementing with l-carnitine supplements recovery can be enhanced due to reduced levels of free radical production. This may be particularly beneficial for athletes who have regular intense training sessions
