Are you struggling to make it through the day? Do you often feel bogged down by exhaustion and like you are running on empty? If so its sounds like you may benefit from L-Carnitine supplementation.
When you hear the word L-Carnitine, thoughts of an exotic health conditions or complex bodily processes may come to mind. However, L-Carnitine is a substance made in the body consisting of two amino acids and its purpose is to transport fatty acids into our mitochondria so that they can produce energy. Having thriving mitochondria full of fatty acids helps protect us from oxidative damage. L Carnitine is often found in its acetylated form (Acetyl L Carnitine), which can cross the blood brain barrier more readily than the non-acetylated L-Carnitine. This does not dampen the improved energy people feel from taking L-Carnitine since close to 98% of it is stored in your muscles (1).
