Carnitine - Optimized with GlycoCarn®

L-carnitine is an amino acid derived nutrient, which is critical for life. It is produced in the liver & kidneys predominantly from dietary components in meat & dairy products. It can also be manufactured in the body from other precurser nutrients. These are the amino acids lysine & methionine. Also adequate amounts of iron, vitamin B, vitamin B6, vitamin B3, and vitamin C plus the enzymes needed for conversion. A deficiency of any of these components can promote low carnitine.

Both Acetyl-L-carnitine and L-carnitine are absorbed into the bloodstream efficiently and are effective in carrying fatty acids across the membrane into the cell where fatty acids are burned as energy and utilized efficiently by the mitochondria (the energy producers of the cell). Mitochondria are specialized sub units within cells. Their main function is to generate energy from food molecules, but they are involved in several vital cell processes.

Optimized Carnitine with GlycoCarn® combines three of the most advanced forms of carnitine in one single formula. The three forms of carnitine and their benefits are:

Acetyl-L-Carnitine
• Crosses the blood-brain barrier to combat oxidative stress and promote energy production in the brain and central nervous system tissues
• Improves memory, attention span, & mental performance in normal individuals.
• Alleviates stress, frustration, and tension.
• Improves blood flow to your brain & heart.
• Helps maintain healthy brain cells, maintains nerve growth factor & helps nourish brain cells.
• Improves communication between the right & left side of your brain.
• Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels
• May help decrease alcohol craving

Acetyl-L-Carnitine Arginate(ArginoCarn®)
• Promotes targeted benefits for the brain, heart, and central nervous system
• Promotes healthy male sexual function and virility.
• Provides safe and effective support for fat burning.
• Enhances the weight control benefits.
• Helps boost mitochondrial energy production.
• Helps maintain optimal mitochondrial function (central components of our cells that generate the majority of our energy from nutrients).

  The many benefits of optimal mitochondrial function include:

  • Supplying cellular energy
  • Promoting cell growth
  • Prolongs stamina
  • Supports greater vitality
  • Enhances cardiovascular health
  • Increases blood flow
  • Mitochondrial Dysfunction plays a role in the aging process

Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine (GlycoCarn®) combines propionyl-L-carnitine PLC) with a glycine component. Benefits include:
• Exhibits a special attraction for muscle tissues, including those of the heart and skeletal muscles
• Is a powerful antioxidant that scavenges free radicals
• Protects against lipid peroxidation
• Assists in energy production
• Contributes to proper carbohydrate metabolism
• Improves muscle function
• Reduces lactic acid buildup during low-oxygen conditions such as exercise
• Provides powerful support for peripheral arterial blood flow
• Enhanced fatty acid metabolism
• Increases nitric oxide production
• Combats muscle fatigue by increasing energy stores of glycogen

Clinical studies have shown that when L-carnitine, propionyl-L-carnitine, and acetyl-L-carnitine are combined, they have a remarkable synergistic effect. This combination of carnitines was shown to:

• Significantly increase peak running speed, total work load, and VO2 max in athletes compared to both placebo and individual carnitine ingredients.
• Be much more effective than both placebo and individual carnitine ingredients at helping adults recover from physical, mental, and emotional fatigue.

For some people, L-carnitine, especially acetyl-L-carnitine, may have a stimulating effect. Therefore, it may be unwise to take it in the evening.
