A major cause of aging is the deterioration of the energy-producing components of the cell which results in reduced cellular metabolic activity, the accumulation of cellular debris, and eventual death of the cell.
The most effective anti-aging therapy to maintain youthful cellular energy metabolism is the amino acid L-carnitine, which functions via several mechanisms to protect cells from the effects of aging. L-carnitine assists in the transport of fat through the cell membrane and into the mitochondria within the cell, where these fats are oxidized to produce the cellular energy ATP.
Acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetyl ester of the amino acid L-carnitine. Acetyl-L-carnitine is absorbed into the bloodstream more efficiently than L-carnitine, passes more easily through cell membranes, and is utilized more efficiently in the mitochondria of the cell.
L-carnitine has been approved by the FDA under the name Carnitor as a therapy for low energy levels, congestive heart disease, and other diseases associated with low cellular energy. Numerous published studies have shown that L-carnitine is effective in treating a wide range of diseases including the neurological diseases of aging, immune dysfunction, and
diabetic complications.
Caution:
For some people, L-carnitine, especially acetyl-L-carnitine, may have a stimulating effect. Therefore, it may be unwise to take it in the evening.
