Physiological function and efficacy of L-carnitine

2014-04-19 classification: efficacy and chemical composition: people commented that carnitine is a kind of protein like molecule with small relative molecular weight There are two optical isomers, L-carnitine (L type) and d-carnitine (D type) L type has biological activity, while D type is its competitive inhibitor Generally, L-carnitine (carnitine, carnitine, vitamin BT) is referred to As a functional nutrient, it is related to the energy produced by fat metabolism, and it is an important auxiliary material for the oxidation of fatty acids into mitochondria It widely exists in human tissues, among which muscle and heart have the highest content Natural food mainly exists in meat and liver At present, the main preparation methods are extraction, biological fermentation, enzyme conversion and chemical synthesis L-carnitine [the physiological function of L-carnitine] promotes fat oxidation and energy conversion [the main effect of L-carnitine] has the functions of reducing weight, relieving physical fatigue, reducing blood lipid, etc.
