L-carnitine supplement for energy production

Once ingested, L-carnitine is absorbed in the small intestine via specific transporters and by passive diffusion (7). L-carnitine’s bioavailability varies between 50% and 85% depending on the amount of dietary carnitine consumed: the higher the intake, the lower the availability (8-9).

As well as supplementing with L-Carnitine Formula, you may find these other nutritional supplements of interest too.

Discover the properties of L-Lysine, an essential amino acid and a precursor of carnitine that may have a beneficial effect prior to participating in physical activity. See also Mitochondrial Formula, which contains carnitine and alpha-lipoic acid, for antioxidant power and to support the production of ATP.

L-Carnitine Formula is comprised of L-carnitine which is water-soluble, and acetyl-L-carnitine which is fat-soluble and is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. It should be taken with food, ideally after exercising when the body’s carbohydrate reserves are at their lowest (especially glycogen) as this is associated with improved absorption of carnitine in tissues.
