Carnitine plays an important role in fat metabolism and energy production. It helps the body convert fat into energy. Without sufficient Carnitine, the fat molecules are denied entry into the mitochondrial (little powerhouses of chemical activity inside the cells) furnace and return to the blood, causing an increase in triglycerides. Therefore, it is thought that L-Carnitine deficiency might damage the heart because oxidation or burning of fatty acids is a major source of energy for the heart muscle. Vitamin B6 is necessary to convert the amino acids, Lysine and Methionine, into Carnitine. Acetyl L-Carnitine is better absorbed and more active than plain Carnitine, it can refresh mental energy, improve mood, slow the aging of brain cells and impede the advance of Alzheimer's. By energizing and balancing the central nervous system, it also strengthens our defenses against infections and immune problems.
