One of the most potent forms of L-Carnitine that money can buy. Extreme
training can suppress L-Carnitine levels in muscles. Proper supplementation with
Ultimate's L-Carnitine can prevent the loss.
L-Carnitine is a vitamin-like molecule that serves numerous functions in the
body. Its main function is to stimulate the breakdown of fats. L-Carnitine is an
alpha-hydroxy acid that is primarily located in the muscle. Carnitine is the
critical player for the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria. Mitochondria
are the powerhouses that produce energy in the cell that the body needs to
function properly. The energy is produced when fats are burned in the
mitochondria. Since mitochondria need oxygen to burn fat, it follows that
supplementation with carnitine ensures adequate supply of oxygen to the muscle.
The supply of oxygen becomes extremely important when one exercises. Intense
exercise for longer periods of time on a regular basis results in the loss of
carnitine. Therefore, carnitine must be replaced in order for the muscle to
remain toned and healthy.
It should be noted that the muscle needs a regular supply of carnitine in
sufficient amounts to remain toned and healthy over the long haul. Also, it
should be taken for some time before its beneficial effects apparent. On the
average, about 10 to 14 days of carnitine supplementation should suffice to keep
the muscle supplied with this nutrient that is central to muscle function.
L-Carnitine functions in conjunction with pantothenic acid (vitamin B5).
Panthothenic acid is converted to its active form panetheine in the body, which
is the fundamental component of coenzyme A (coA). Coenzyme A is involved in the
transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria and also to and from cells. Thus,
panethenic acid lowers cholesterol and triglycerides levels.
