Bio-Carnitine (L-Carnitine) from Pharma Nord enhances the conversion of fatty acids (the energy source of the heart muscle) into energy. L-Carnitine is metabolised to Acetyl-L-Carnitine in the liver. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is transported to the brain where it can transcend the blood brain barrier. The functional group (the acetyl group) is a precursor to acetylcholine, which is an important neurotransmitter, required for mental function. Furthermore both L-Carnitine and its cousin molecule Acetyl-L-Carnitine have the ability to clear out the mitochondria of accumulated toxic fatty acids. Carnitine can help to maximise energy production, promote cellular membrane stability and repair membrane changes that are age related.
