this video is a summary video on

l-carnitine what is it and what’s the

most important use of l-carnitine

it’s an amino acid that transports fat

into the mitochondria the mitochondria

is the energy Factory in all of your

cells it produces the energy currency

called ATP and l-carnitine also will

handle some of the waste that’s

generated from the fat that’s being

oxidized now since its job is to

transport fat into the oven sort of

speak for burning people take it to lose

weight okay they take it to develop more

energy while they’re working out they

get more endurance they have better

recovery if they’re exercising so these

are the main reasons why people consume

this but there’s actually a bigger

reason that I’m going to talk about most

of your cells okay contain between 500

and 2,000 mitochondria but the heart

cell has 5,000 mitochondria that’s

incredible that’s a lot of mitochondria

now the interesting thing about the

heart muscle that’s different than the

skeletal muscle is it doesn’t have a

glycogen reserve and when you burn fat

most of that fat turns into free fatty

acids and only 40 percent of it turns

into ketones so when we talk about fat

burning we’re not talking about just

ketones we’re also talking about fatty

acids and the heart loves fatty acids in

fact it runs in fatty acids it runs on

other things like lactate and ketones

but it loves fatty acids so it needs

l-carnitine to transport these fatty

acids into the machinery to burn for its

energy so if you have a congestive heart

failure or you have some arrhythmia

problem with the heart or any type of

heart damage this product is what you

would want to consume in addition to

coenzyme q-10 those two are dynamite for

the heart as they age they make less and

less

carnitine and also as they age they

cannot digest or absorb protein as well

so protein does not turn into body

tissue like it did when they were 18

years old not to mention the fact that a

lot of people have lost stomach acids so

they’re not digesting this protein to

eventually get this as well because your

body makes it so we have a protein

absorption problem we have a digestive

problem being able to break down the

protein as we age we can’t make this as

well and also if you’re not consuming

the cofactors to make it like b6 vitamin

C some of the other B vitamins and that

could be another reason why this could

benefit you but I just wanted to create

this summary video to point out that L

carnitine is not just for athletes okay

not just for people that want to lose

weight it’s also and even more

importantly for people that want to

support a healthy cardiovascular system
