L-CARNITINE

L-carnitine is a natural substance in the body that is found in food, primarily in meat (muscles). It is classified as a vitamin-like nutrient, which according to its effects is related to B vitamins. Therefore, it has long been called vitamin BT. L-carnitine is tasked with energy production in the body and supports normal fat metabolism. L-carnitine can be produced in the human liver, kidneys and brain. Endogenous synthesis begins to work in full at the age of 14-15 years. However, this covers only partially - only up to 10-30% of the body's normal needs of L-carnitine. Most of the necessary amount is taken by the body from the substances in the food. With great physical exertion or mental stress, the daily need for L-carnitine increases. When the body needs energy, L-Carnitine plays an important role. It transports, for example, free fatty acids into the mitochondria - the biochemical powerhouses of every cell. Thus, L-carnitine is primarily responsible for the production of energy from fat. Through its metabolic functions, L-carnitine helps to improve vitality, to prevent heart problems, to delay the classic aging process, to strengthen the immune system, to form blood and release oxygen in red blood cells. In general, L-carnitine makes an important contribution to protecting the quality of life in adulthood.
