Characteristics
Description
L-CARNITINE 500 - DRAGON PHARMA
1 vial x 10 ml x 500 mg/ml
L-Carnitine, a naturally occurring compound in nearly all cells of the body, is crucial for energy production. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce energy. Additionally, it helps remove toxic compounds from cellular organelles, preventing their accumulation. This function makes L-Carnitine especially vital in tissues like skeletal and cardiac muscles that utilize fatty acids as fuel.
Why You Need L-Carnitine?
While most people produce enough L-Carnitine naturally, athletes and bodybuilders can benefit from supplementation, especially if they have genetic or medical conditions that inhibit natural production. Oral or injected L-Carnitine supplements become essential in such cases.
