L-Carnitine Is an Essential Amino Acid
Scientific research has provided knowledge about how the body works and what it needs in order to function properly. Centuries ago, no one had ever heard of amino acids, but they are very important parts of the body. Proteins make up a good part of the body, and amino acids are what help to make proteins. Amino acids like L-Carnitine may also play a role in weight maintenance. Because of the importance of this amino acid, TwinLab makes L-Carnitine Fuel Powerful Weight Management & Energy Formula.
The Importance of Amino Acids and L-Carnitine in Particular
Protein makes up a good part of the body – the bones, muscles, skin, hair, and most organs are made up of protein. Amino acids help to make the protein needed for all these vital bodily components. One of the essential amino acids is L-Carnitine, and it is all too often lacking in the foods found in a regular diet. This powerful amino acid has been linked not only to weight loss, but to playing an important role in how the mitochondria in the cells are able to provide energy to the body. L-Carnitine may also help improve athletic performance because it may prevent muscle damage and increase endurance and stamina.
Mitochondria and L-Carnitine
Mitochondria are tiny organelles that are found inside very one of the body’s cells. These might be looked upon as the engines that help each cell, and ultimately, the body make energy to provide for all of life’s functions. In order for mitochondria to produce the energy that each cell needs, they need some fuel of their own, in the form of fats and sugars. This is where L-Carnitine comes in. This important amino acid is what helps deliver this fuel to the mitochondria so they can keep producing energy for the cells and entire body. If not enough L-Carnitine is available from dietary sources, energy levels may fall.
Can L-Carnitine Increase Endurance and Athletic Performance?
Every athlete dreads getting muscle injuries. Damage to a muscle is called a strain, and depending on the severity, a strain can sideline an athlete for weeks as the muscle repairs itself. L-Carnitine may help to prevent muscle damage and may work to provide protection to muscle fibers. As mentioned above, mitochondria and L-Carnitine are partners in helping provide energy for the body. This factor may work in favor of increasing the endurance of athletes and helping them to better their overall performance. Because L-Carnitine can provide increased amounts of fats and sugars to the mitochondria, increased activity by the mitochondria may make more energy available, allowing the activity to be carried on for a longer period of time. L-Carnitine may also help to build more muscle tissue.
Get The Edge
What Is L-Carnitine?
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays an essential role in the metabolism of fat by transporting fatty acids to muscle tissue to be used as energy.
