Solgar Maxi L-Carnitine Product Description:
gPLC (glycine propionyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride) is an exciting
new form of carnitine, which is combined with the non-essential
amino acid glycine for optimal cardiovascular support.
L-carnitine serves a vital role in transporting fatty acids
across the mitochondria for energy production. This occurs in liver,
heart and muscle tissues, which are reliant on fat for energy
metabolism.
Propionyl-L-carnitine (PLC) is a form of L-carnitine that is more
readily absorbed into the mitochondrial cells where it may help to
support energy metabolism.
Carnitine helps to transport fatty acids to the mitochondria
where they are used in the production of adenosine triphosphate
(ATP), the energy molecule. ATP levels in the heart need to be
replenished on a regular basis since cells cannot store much of this
important compound.
PLC plays a key role in this process. Research suggests that PLC
has positive effects on energy and cardiovascular health.
Carnitine’s most important known metabolic function is to transport
long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria of muscle cells where
they are oxidised and burned for energy.
Carnitines also appear to help remove biological waste
from the cell.
Cardiac muscle is especially dependent
upon this mechanism as an important source of metabolic energy.
In addition carnitine plays a role in
the production of heat (thermogenesis) of brown adipose tissue and
in the regulation of glucose production (gluconeogenesis).
Since carnitine primarily regulates fat burning in the body those
undergoing intensive physical training often choose to supplement
with this product.
