Lamberts L-Carnitine is ready to be absorbed by the body without needing to be broken down by digestive enzymes. It does not contain caffeine so it can be combined with other products. Carnitine is an important amino acid that is made in the body from lysine in the presence of vitamin C and is found mainly in foods of animal origin. Carnitine is one of the most popular amino acid supplements and because the raw material is relatively expensive, we advise you to be cautious when choosing L-carnitine supplements. It is preferred by athletes, and plays a role in the thermogenesis (heat production) of brown adipose tissue (the brown color is given by the cytochromes of mitochondria) and in the regulation of glycogenesis. Its most important known metabolic function is to transport long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria of muscle cells, (including those of the myocardium), where they are oxidized producing energy. Carnitine is also responsible for the elimination of waste products from the mitochondria. It is recommended to take one capsule daily with water or fruit juice. Do not exceed the expressly recommended daily dose. It is best to take an amino acid half an hour before any meal or just before going to bed. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not take by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Store the container in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of small children. Batch number and best before date on the side of the container.
