What is L-Carnitine?

L-Carnitine, a sub-type of Carnitine, is a naturally occurring amino acid critical to the burning of fatty acids for energy and prized for its antioxidant properties. Synthesized in the liver and kidneys, L-Carnitine requires two essential amino acids, lysine and methionine, for synthesis to take place. It also requires niacin, B6, and iron from the body for synthesis. Without these key components, the liver and kidneys cannot supply the body with this much needed amino acid. L-Carnitine has a very specific role as an amino acid. Its purpose is to carry fatty acids into the mitochondria where the acids are burned as cellular fuel. This amino acid was discovered in 1927, but it was not until the 1960s before its purpose and significance was fully understood. L-Carnitine is the biologically active strain of the amino acid. The biologically inactive strain is referred to as D-Carnitine. It can be found in numerous foods and has several potential medical uses, though it is often used as a diet supplement because of its antioxidant properties and ability to boost energy.

What Does L-Carnitine Do?

Perhaps the simplest way to put this is that Carnitine and its sub-groups, L-Carnitine and D-Carnitine, act as a turbocharger for the body, providing greater energy, longer endurance and stamina, and a cleaner fuel burn for the body. Continuing to use the automotive analogy, turbocharging not only gives more power, but it makes maximum use of the fuel insuring that less waste is put out the exhaust. When talking about human cells, just like the planet around us, if we put less waste back into our environment, it makes for a healthier place to live. Just like throwing our trash all about us, it not only affects ourselves, but our neighbors. Throwing less waste around within the body means less pollution for the neighboring cells to deal with.

What is L-Carnitine Used For?

Proponents of L-Carnitine call it the optimum fat-burning amino acid. Thus, it is often used by those who require energy for a long duration such as fitness buffs and those who compete in endurance competitions. It is also used by those who wish to lose weight. While studies show that the longer the duration of physical activity provides greater burning of fat, there is not much research that shows the part L-Carnitine plays in the process. However, logic tells us that if it allows one to remain active for a longer period of time, and longer periods of physical activity lead to leaner muscle mass and lower fat mass, it must follow that L-Carnitine plays an important part in weight reduction. In order to fully quantify the last statement, however, there is some research which suggests that greater quantities of L-Carnitine have limited effects on the energy burning process. Some research suggest that the body reaches its maximum saturation point at as low as 2 grams and that any additional quantities beyond this point provide no effect substantial effect.

Most Important Properties of L-Carnitine:
  • It is the transport molecule for fatty acids
  • It can improve the process of burning fat, and it can help you lose weight
  • It can allow better energy release (which is recommended in order to meet cognitive performance requirements)
  • It improves recovery after sports
  • There is some evidence to suggest that L-carnitine can improve erectile function and sperm production

Antioxidant Properties of L-Carnitine:

L-carnitine is an antioxidant compound that could protect your cells from long-term damage caused by free radicals — chemicals produced in your cells as byproducts of digestion, in your skin when you’re in sunlight or when you’re exposed to environmental toxins, such as cigarette smoke. Over time, free radicals can damage cellular membranes and DNA, raising your risk of chronic diseases such as cancer. Laboratory research into l-carnitine has found that its antioxidant properties could protect you from a type of free radical-induced damage called oxidative stress. For example, a study published in February 2006 in the “International Journal of Cardiology” found that the cells which line your blood vessels produce substances that protect against free radicals when they’re exposed to l-carnitine. Studies are still needed to identify the possible benefits of this effect, however.

Anti-Aging Potential of L-Carnitine:

Information summarized by experts at the Linus Pauling Institute suggests that taking carnitine might help slow the natural aging process. Cellular components that produce energy, called mitochondria, need carnitine for their biochemical reactions; the institute says that both mitochondrial function and levels of carnitine in your cells decline as you age. A number of laboratory studies have found that supplementing aging laboratory animals with a type of carnitine called acetyl-L-carnitine increased carnitine levels in their body tissues and improved energy production by their mitochondria. In one study, published in February 2002 in the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,” older animals fed carnitine performed memory tasks better than a placebo group, but this possible anti-aging benefit still needs confirmation in clinical studies with human subjects.

Effects on Athletic Performance:

The institute also reports that taking extra carnitine might improve your exercise tolerance and athletic performance through its potential ability to boost energy production. Some research has been conducted to test this possibility, including a study published in the February 2002 issue of the “American Journal of Physiology Endocrinology and Metabolism,” which found that a small group of male subjects who took carnitine for three weeks and then did strenuous exercise had less muscle disruption than a placebo group. According to the institute, some other studies fail to support a benefit of carnitine for exercise performance, but these have been small, of short duration or not well-controlled, so larger clinical trials are still needed to determine conclusively whether taking extra carnitine boosts athletic performance.
