Each bottle of 10 mL contains 1 g L-Carnitine (Carnicor) inner salt.
L-Carnitine (Carnicor) is a natural substance present in all cells of the body. It is a transport protein. Chemically, L-Carnitine is β - OH -(Y- N- trimethylammonio) butyrate. L-Carnitine (Carnicor) is synthesized by both animals and humans in the liver, kidney and brain from 2 amino acids-lysine and methionine, methionine being the methyl donor for transmethylation of lysine, to butyrobutaine and finally L-Carnitine (Carnicor). However, not enough is synthesized to meet body requirements which is fulfilled by red meat and dairy products in the diet.
L-Carnitine (Carnicor) is concentrated in the heart and skeletal muscle where 95% of total body carnitine is found. This high content reflects the considerable ability of these muscles to obtain energy from oxidation of free fatty acids, which requires L-Carnitine (Carnicor).
