Acetyl L- Carnitine

Enhanced Energy and Reduced Triglycerides with NuMedica Acetyl L-Carnitine
NuMedica Acetyl L-Carnitine is an amino acid that the body naturally produces, but many people prefer to take a dietary supplement of Acetyl L-Carnitine for the benefits associated with this essential building block of protein.

According to medical research, the body normally produces this amino acid in the liver and kidneys where it is then transferred to other important areas of the body like the heart and brain.

Most people derive their Acetyl L-Carnitine from a diet that includes red meat. However, not everyone may be getting the Acetyl L-Carnitine to support optimum health. Certain conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome & medication usage can reduce production making this an essential dietary nutrient.

Carnitine helps muscle cells drive energy efficiently from fat metabolism.  Up to 70% of the energy produced by muscle cells (including the heart) come from burning fats.  L-Carnitine is the gate-keeper that allows fatty acids to pass into the mitochondrial furnace in order to make energy.

L-Carnitine and Weight Loss:

Carnitine and long chain omega 3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) synergize and enhance each other’s biological activity.  This combination enhances the bodies ability to burn fat for fuel.  People with weight loss resistance are very poor fat burners and have a metabolism that is stuck in sugar burning mode.

The combination of carnitine and EPA & DHA along with an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle can help switch the metabolism and rev up fat burning abilities.
