Body fat is stored in the form of chemical compounds called triglycerides (or triacylglycerides). They are units formed by a glycerin molecule linked to three fatty acids, which are released when there is an energy demand, breaking those bonds and being transported by carnitine to the interior of muscle cells called mitochondria, where they are oxidized producing energy. Endogenous L-carnitine (the one manufactured by the body) is essential for the transport of long-chain fatty acids through the mitochondrial membrane, for the subsequent breakdown of fats and generation of energy.
On the other hand, there are scientific works1,2,3 published that point to a new role of exogenous L-carnitine from Food Supplements, among which the following stand out:
1. Reduction of cell damage, by attenuating the hypoxia created during intense exercise.
2. Minimize the generation of free radicals produced by mechanical stress and increased metabolic demand.
3. Optimizes hormonal action, by maintaining the integrity of the cell, maintaining the density and integrity of the receptors for the action of testosterone and GH.
4. The above action favors the regeneration of substrates and cell hydration, as well as the synthesis and net balance of muscle proteins.
Among the functions of endogenous choline in the body, its key role on the normal metabolism of lipids, as well as homocysteine, stands out. In addition, choline contributes to maintaining normal liver function.
L-CARNITINE capsules provide choline and 500 mg of L-carnitine (Carnipure®) in its biologically active form.
It is recommended to maintain the supplementation with L-CARNITINE capsules for at least 14 or 21 days and can last up to 6 months.
Infisport® L-CARNITINE capsules are presented in a bottle with 150 capsules.
