Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have been taking an alpha-lipoic acid /acetyl L-carnitine combination pill for about 6 months. Walford recommends it in p. 167 of BT120YD, but I will stop taking it when I finish the current bottle because I don't notice any effects. I probably get enough carnitine in the meat that I eat. Vegetarians might be able to benefit from this supplement more than I do.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Carnitine L-carnitine is an amino acid which nourishes the heart, nourishes and strengthens muscles, and nutritionally supports the circulatory system. L-Carnitine is considered to be a "carrier" of fat to the mitochondria or "fatburning" area of the cell. This remarkable amino acid-like substance is not only necessary for the metabolism of fat at the cellular level; it is also essential in the forming of firm, lean muscle tissue in the body. Recent studies support earlier research which shows that the heart has the greatest amount of L-Carnitine of any muscle in the body. L-Carnitine has also shown to be instrumental in the metabolism of cholesterol. Some overweight people may lack L-Carnitine in their bodies. The heart produces most of its energy from fats; thus is dependent upon L-carnitine. An L-Carnitine deficiency causes extreme metabolic impairment to heart tissue. On the other hand, supplemental L-Carnitine has proved to be beneficial to heart patients. Suzi List Owner What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Can this only be taken in suppliment form, or are there certain foods etc where it is present in sufficient quantities?

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Carnitine is formed from the amino acids lysine and methionine. Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins. When we eat any kind of protein, vegetable or animal, the body breaks down the protein chains into individual amino acids. These are absorbed through the villi lining the small intestine and reassembled into whatever protein the body needs. Eating a wide variety of healthy foods will ensure that the body has all the building blocks it needs to build that condo your kidney wants or log cabin your heart just needs for a vacation lol. There are some people who genetically do not form enough Carnitine, and these are the people that may benefit from supplementation. It is amazing what the body can do with a good supply of fuel though.
