Carnitine is an amino acid that the body uses to convert fat into energy.
Although it is not considered an essential nutrient (since the body is able to synthesize it on its own), carnitine is often used as a dietary supplement to increase the oxidation of fat reserves for energy or weight loss purposes.
L-Carnitine
It is believed to have a cardioprotective function as it helps reduce, in some individuals, triglyceride levels and increase the concentration of HDL lipoproteins, which tend to remove cholesterol from the tissues, thus preventing the formation of cholesterol. plaque formation in the arteries.
L-Carnitine also has antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.
Carnitine facilitates the entry of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are oxidized to produce energy (from a biochemical point of view, carnitine carries out its functions by participating in a complex mechanism called carnitine acyl-CoA transferase).
Carnitine maintains a constant Acetyl-CoA/CoA ratio within cells: optimizing this ratio favors the conversion of pyruvate and lactate to Acetyl-CoA, especially in type I fibers.
This function gives rise to the hypothesis that carnitine limits the accumulation of lactic acid and allows for improved performance.
