Description
Carnitine is a derivative of two amino acids, normally found in found in nearly all cells of the body. It is used by the body to transport long chain fatty acids to the mitochondria in your cells, where the fat is burned for energy. Carnitine may also have a role in the protection of the heart and nerves and in increasing levels of HDL cholesterol (the good kind).*
Signs of Deficiency
Since the burning of fatty acids in the cells is a major source of muscular energy, deficiencies in carnitine may be manifested as:*
- Low energy levels
- Muscular weakness
- Mental confusion or cloudiness
- Angina (heart pain)
- Weight gain
Why weight gain? Well, if you aren’t burning fat, you must be storing it. In addition to preventing fatty build-ups that are not aesthetically pleasing, L-carnitine supplementation can help prevent fatty build-ups around the heart and liver (especially likely if you are a regular consumer of alcoholic beverages).*
Sources of Carnitine
Carnitine can be manufactured in the body, provided that these vitamins and minerals are also present: B1, B6, C, and iron. In addition, your body will require sufficient quantities of the amino acids, lysine and methionine, to enact the synthesis.*
Already-made carnitine is present in meats and other animal foods. Vegetarians and vegans may want to supplement their diet with L-carnitine, especially those who do strenuous work or who are athletes, because lots of L-carnitine is used up during periods of exertion.*
