What is L-Carnitine?
L-Carnitine is an amino acid derivative that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for β-oxidation. It is naturally synthesized in the liver and kidneys from lysine and methionine.
L-Carnitine is available as a liquid formulation at 500mg/10ml for research applications in metabolic and energy metabolism studies.
Mechanism of Action
Fatty Acid Transport
Transports long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production
Energy Metabolism
Supports ATP production through fatty acid oxidation
Antioxidant Activity
Exhibits antioxidant properties and protects against oxidative stress
Metabolic Research
Energy metabolism studies, fatty acid oxidation research
Cardiovascular Research
Cardiac function studies, vascular health research
Muscle Research
Muscle metabolism, performance, and recovery studies
Neuroprotection
Neuroprotective effects, mitochondrial function in neural cells
Clinical Studies
- L-Carnitine supplementation has been shown to improve exercise performance in various studies
