Description:
L-Carnitine is an amino acid which has a role to play in the body's fat
metabolism process. L-Carnitine transports fatty acids to the mitochondria,
which is where they are essentially burned as fuel. This amino acid
naturally occurs, although it can also be biosynthesized from two other
ones.In addition to being found in a wide range of foods, it is also
commonly available as a dietary supplement.

Dietary supplementation of L-carnitine:
L-carnitine in diet mainly comes from animals, but the content of L-carnitine in plants is very small.
Animal sources: rich sources of lean meat, liver, heart, yeast, mutton, chicken, rabbit meat, milk and whey, etc.
Sources of plants: avocado, kiwifruit, raisin, papaya, lemon, aloe, lotus leaf, Pu'er tea casein and malt in a small amount of Taiwan's alpine fruits.
Function:
L-Carnitine is hygroscopic,so it is suitable for all kinds of liquid applications.
L-Carnitine is essential in the utilization of fatty acids and in transporting metabolic energy.And so it can:
1) Promote normal growth and development
2) Treat and possibly prevent cardiovascular disease
3) Treat muscle disease
4) Help build muscle
5) Protect against liver disease
6) Protect against diabetes
7) Protect against kidney disease
Application:
1) Infant food: It can be added to milk powder to improve the nutrition.
2) Weight loss: L-carnitine can burn the redundant adipose in our body, then transmit to energy, which can help us slimming figure.
3) Athletes food: It is good for improve the explosive force and resist fatigue, which can enhance our sports ability.
4) Important nutritional supplement for human body: With the growth of our age, the content of L-carnitine in our body is decreasing, so we should supplement L-carnitine to maintain the health of our body.
5) L-Carnitine is proved to be safe and healthy food after security experiments in many countries. US stipulates that ADI is 20mg per kg per day, the maximum for adults is 1200mg per day. |
