L-carnitine - what is it?

L-carnitine, also known as L-carnitine, is an organic chemical compound that the body synthesizes from two amino acids: lysine and methionine. Its name comes from the Latin word "caro" meaning flesh, which refers to its first isolation from muscle tissue. L-carnitine is water soluble, which means that its excess is excreted from the body through the kidneys.

L-carnitine can also be supplied externally through a well-balanced diet. A rich source of this compound is meat and dairy products such as beef, pork, lamb and fish. An additional way to provide L-carnitine in the diet can be the Now ^® brand food supplement.

The recommended daily dose of the product is 2 tablets, which will help provide the body with 1000 mg of L-carnitine tartrate - a form of carnitine that occurs naturally in the human body.
