Properties

The main function of L-carnitine is energy production. By transporting fatty acids to mitochondria, it promotes their oxidation to acetyl-CoA and conversion to ATP. Carnitine has antihypoxic and anabolic effects. It stimulates tissue regeneration, increases the intensity of lipid metabolism, improves the metabolism of coenzyme A and, by mobilizing the fat depot, inhibits the consumption of proteins and carbohydrates. Another useful property of the compound is the stimulation of enzymatic activity in the gastrointestinal tract, which increases appetite and normalizes digestion. It slows down the formation of lactic acid during exercise, improves the delivery of nutrients to nerve fibers and accelerates the burning of fat between muscle tissues.
