What is L-carnitine really?

L-carnitine is an endogenous compound synthesized in mammals from the essential amino acids lysine and methionine. It is stored primarily in skeletal muscle and the heart (approximately 95%), while much lower concentrations are stored in the blood plasma (1). L-carnitine has attracted interest because it plays an important role in fat metabolism. The primary function of L-carnitine is the transport of long-chain fatty acids across the inner membrane of mitochondria. Through its functions in the body, it also indirectly affects carbohydrate metabolism (2).

L-carnitine is famous among people who care about their fitness!

The mechanism of action of L-carnitine is not as simple as it is commonly believed. According to a scientific publication on prolonged L-carnitine supplementation on metabolism from 2020 (Sawicka et al.), the main function of L-carnitine is to transport long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondrial matrix for their conversion into energy in the process of beta-oxidation. In addition, L-carnitine, through the reaction with acetyl-CoA (i.e. acetyl coenzyme A) and maintaining the acetyl-CoA / CoA ratio in the cell, regulates the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase. L-carnitine also plays an important role in the regulation of metabolic pathways related to skeletal muscle protein balance: proteolysis and protein synthesis (3) and acts as an antioxidant compound, thus it can alleviate exercise-induced muscle damage (4).

Popularity of L-carnitine

L-carnitine is known and used by athletes all over the world. It is recommended for active people looking for support in achieving their goals. Of course, the basis for success is a refined diet and a well-thought-out training system – it is worth remembering this. The form of capsules guarantees the comfort of supplementation.

L-carnitine supplementation

In the previously mentioned scientific publication (Sawicka et al.), the authors stated that L-carnitine supplementation under certain conditions may affect physical performance. They also indicated that, as reported by available studies, long-term supplementation, especially in combination with carbohydrates, may increase the total carnitine content in skeletal muscles (3).

L-carnitine and fatigue during physical exertion

From a physiological point of view, L-carnitine serves as a substrate, among others, for the synthesis of acetylcarnitine, which is necessary to maintain a real pool of free coenzyme A (CoA). It enables the continuation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex – theoretically, its higher flow during strenuous exercise can be expected to reduce the accumulation of lactate in the blood. As a result, it potentially helps to preserve glycogen stores and then delay premature fatigue (1).

Essensey L-Carnitine – a great complement to intense training!
