Description

D-Carnitine is a semi-essential amino acid that is naturally produced by the body and is found in animal products such as meat, fish and dairy. It plays an important role in energy metabolism by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidation. D-Carnitine has been shown to increase mitochondrial membrane potential, uptake, and cellular energy production. D-carnitine supplementation has been shown to increase ATP levels in humans with sublethal doses of radiation. This supplement can be taken orally or intravenously and may be used to increase carnitine levels in patients with mitochondrial disorders and chronic fatigue syndrome.
