Food supplement

 

Acetyl L-Carnitine+ is a food supplement based on N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine developed to promote fat metabolism. GLUTEN FREE.

In 3 capsules of this product there are 1.5 g of acetyl-L-carnitine, corresponding to a theoretical stoichiometric of 1000 mg of L-carnitine.

The use of acetyl-L-carnitine instead of carnitine follows a dual motivation:

- acetyl-L-carnitine can, if necessary, be transformed by the body into L-carnitine, and used as such;
- this substance has its own physiological effects, not attributable to the action of carnitine.

We recall that both carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine are naturally present in the human body, located in almost all tissues with, however, a clear prevalence in skeletal muscles. The sites of endogenous production are the liver, kidneys and brain; a part is then released into the bloodstream and transported to the remaining tissues. Part of the carnitine used by the body is introduced with the diet (about 50 mg/day). However, the foods that contain carnitine are only those based on meat. Vegetarians will have to compensate otherwise for this dietary "deficiency" since carnitine (and therefore also acetyl-L-carnitine) is virtually absent in foods of plant origin. The oral intake of acetyl L-carnitine allows a rapid increase in its blood levels.

The importance of carnitine as a food supplement derives from its main physiological function: carnitine is able to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are degraded in various stages with the formation of energy. This substance is therefore indispensable in lipid catabolism (lipolysis) (Francis BS et all. 2013. Carnitine and fat oxidation).

Directly or indirectly, the other functions of carnitine derive from this “fat burning” function:

- increased energy production and availability (more ATP and acetyl-CoA);
- facilitation of the oxidation of branched-chain amino acids (more energy from these substances);
- increased production of pyruvate at the expense of lactate (with the possibility of delaying the deleterious effects of this metabolite on skeletal muscle activity).

Many studies have shown that both aerobic (endurance) and anaerobic (Energy) effort determine a significant decrease in blood levels of carnitine. This assumption indicates how the intake of carnitine can prevent deficiency states induced by physical activity of various kinds.

As a demonstration of the function of carnitine on lipid metabolism, there are some rare genetic diseases in which the subject is unable to produce endogenous carnitine. These deficiencies explain the accumulation of fat at the muscular level (inside the muscular cells) with serious effects on the normal activity of the skeletal muscle. In these cases, carnitine becomes the drug of choice, capable of alleviating the effects of these dysmetabolic states.

Numerous studies in the sports field have shown that more or less high doses (from a few hundred milligrams up to 10 g daily, both with single and chronic administration), determine in the athlete a general improvement of the energy metabolism and an increase in performance. Of utmost importance is the fact that at the doses tested, carnitine has never induced harmful or unwanted side effects.

Action of Acetyl-L-carnitine: in addition to the actions of carnitine, as its precursor, acetyl-L-carnitine has its own effects. The administration of acetyl-L-carnitine improves attention span, reflexes and can be useful in counteracting neuralgic inflammation.

 

DIRECTIONS: SPORT: the product is particularly suitable for all those who practice sports assiduously. The intake of Acetyl-Carnitine improves the energy state of the athlete in both Energy and resistance efforts. What can be important in the two types of effort is the product intake schedule (see doses) in order to reduce the formation of lactic acid.

DAILY LIFE: the product is indicated in cases of asthenia, muscle weakness. Useful for integrating diets with total or partial absence of meat products (vegetarian). Indicated for children and the elderly, where meat consumption may be inadequate.

Dosage: 3 capsules per day.
