ACETYL-L-CARNITINE
1 capsule contains:
500 mg acetyl-l-carnitine
Effect:
Scientific research has shown that acetyl-l-carnitine plays a key role in maintaining the proper functioning of the brain and nerves during the aging process. Acetyl-l-carnitine is a natural product of l-carnitine metabolism. Both compounds occur in food products of animal origin.
In most body tissues, both acetyl-l-carnitine and l-carnitine are involved in the oxidation of fatty acids. L-carnitine transports fatty acids from the cytosol (cellular fluid) to the mitochondria, where energy is produced as a result of oxidation. The main products of this process are acetyl groups. Some of them are oxidized in the mitochondria by the Krebs cycle, while the rest are transported by acetyl-l-carnitine back to the cytosol. There they take part in the production of very important neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine (its level decreases with age).
In addition to participating in the production of neurotransmitters, acetyl-l-carnitine also has other functions:
- maintains the stability of cell membranes and prevents their unfavorable changes as a result of the aging process
- acts as an antioxidant against harmful superoxide radicals< /span>
- Animal studies have shown that it maintains normal levels of nerve growth factor in the brain during the aging process
- Human studies have shown that it increases cerebral blood flow
Application:
Acetyl-l-carnitine is necessary to maintain the proper functions of the nervous system, which deteriorate with age.< /span>
