L-Carnitine500 mg, 30 vegetarian capsulesItem Catalog Number: 01532Mitochondria, the powerhouses found within human cells, produce the energy that vital tissues need to keep us vibrant, healthy, and young.1 Normal levels of carnitine support the optimum functioning of mitochondria. The problem is that over time, levels of carnitine decline in all of our tissues,2,3 reducing cellular energy production, and metabolic activity.4-10 The answer is carnitine supplementation because carnitine helps:Maintain cellular metabolic activity by assisting in the intracellular transport of fatty acids from the cell fluid into the mitochondria where fats are oxidized to generate cellular energy.11-13Inhibit excess accumulation of cellular debris.14-16Support a healthy concentration of nitric oxide, which helps endothelial cells relax and maintain blood flow—supporting proper blood pressure.17-19Maintain healthy body fat composition, which in turn supports insulin sensitivity and healthy blood sugar levels already within normal range.20,21Support brain cells’ natural defenses against age-related memory and cognitive decline.22,23Supplement FactsServing Size 1 vegetarian capsuleAmount Per ServingL-Carnitine (from L-Carnitine tartrate)500 mgOther ingredients: vegetable cellulose (capsule), dicalcium phosphate, vegetable stearate, silica.Non-GMODosage and UseTake one (1) capsule on an empty stomach not exceeding four (4) capsules daily, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.WarningsKEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDRENDO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSEDo not purchase if outer seal is broken or damaged.When using nutritional supplements, please consult with your physician if you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating.Antioxid Redox Signal. 2010 Apr;12(4):503-35.J Biol Chem. 2009 Aug 21;284(34):22840-52.Nutr Metab (Lond). 2010 Apr 16;7:30.Neurochem Res. 2010 Dec;35(12):1880-915.Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2004 Jun;1019:406-11.Clin Nutr. 2005 Oct;24(5):794-800.J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2008 Oct;63(10):1027-33.Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 2007 Feb;292(2):C670-86.Mech Ageing Dev. 2010 Jul-Aug;131(7-8):473-9.Curr Aging Sci. 2008 Mar;1(1):10-21.Biochim Biophys Acta. 2012 Oct;1821(10):1341-9.Am J Clin Nutr. 2009 Jan;89(1):71-6.Transl Res. 2012 Nov 5. pii: S1931-5244(12)00367-2.Biochem J. 2012 Jan 15;441(2):523-40.Crit Care Med. 2013 Jan;41(1):177-89.Autophagy. 2013 Jan 1;9(1):112-4.J Nutr Biochem. 2007 Aug;18(8):533-40.J Vasc Res. 2007;44(5):354-64.Free Radic Res. 2007 Aug;41(8):884-91.Lab Invest. 2011 May;91(5):704-10.Eur J Nutr. 2012 Feb;51(1):1-18.Curr Opin Gastroenterol. 2012 Mar;28(2):166-76.Drugs Exp Clin Res. 1994;20(4):169-76.
