Description
Carnitine Extra is a high concentration carnitine supplement and is recommended for endurance and ultra-endurance sports. The product is enhanced thanks to the presence of vitamin B12 and zinc.
Carnitine has an important biological role as a carrier of fatty acids involved in energy production.
On a biochemical level, carnitine facilitates the entry of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized for energy. From a cellular point of view, carnitine is involved in a complex mechanism called “carnitine acyl-CoA transferase”: it keeps the AcetylCoA / CoA ratio in the cells balanced and assists the conversion of pyruvate and lactate to AcetylCoA. In addition, it has an indirect antioxidant action against highly metabolized cells, such as heart and muscle cells. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy metabolism, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, while zinc contributes to the normal metabolism of fatty acids.
L-Carnitine hydrochloride, bulking agent: cellulose; zinc gluconate, anti-caking agents: magnesium salts of fatty acids, silicon dioxide; vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin).
