APS Acetyl L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine has been studied from a nutritional and health perspective for decades, but its potential to aid in fat loss and athletic performance has led to an explosion of research in recent years. L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid which plays a vital role in the metabolism of fat. It functions as a transporter of fatty acids into the mitochondria, the metabolic furnace of the cell. It has been established that an adequate supply of L-Carnitine is necessary for the maintenance of good health and energy.

L-Carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane to be metabolized. L-Carnitine aids in the release of stored body fat, called triglycerides, into the bloodstream for energy. Increasing scientific evidence illustrates the favorable effects of Carnitine for athletes and active people with regard to optimizing performance, delaying the onset of fatigue and improving the recovery process.
