Product Information

• Name: L-Palmitoyl carnitine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-Palmitoyl carnitine is a lipid-based compound, which is derived from the esterification of palmitic acid with carnitine. It is a naturally occurring derivative that plays a role in cellular lipid metabolism and energy production. The mode of action involves its integration into the mitochondrial membrane, where it facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria. This is pivotal for beta-oxidation, the process through which fatty acids are broken down for energy production.
