L-Carnitine – the energy booster
L-Carnitine is a vitamin-like substance occurring naturally in raw materials of both animal and vegetable origin. It transports long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria to produce energy.
Why L-carnitine is so important
L-Carnitine plays a key role in energy metabolism, and while a certain amount is synthesised from amino acids available in the body, this amount is often not enough, particularly in times of high performance. Without L-carnitine the long-chain fatty acids cannot be used as a source of energy.
Supplementation with L-carnitine is essential for animals during reproduction, in periods of rapid growth or when the liver metabolism is overloaded. In addition to the metabolic functions, L-carnitine also has an antioxidant function and immunomodulary effects.
The nutritionists at Kaesler have developed different formulations of L-carnitine in the Carneon range, providing solutions to optimize energy supply via feed to achieve the higher performance levels demanded of our animals today.
Did you know?
- There are two different isomers of carnitine – D-carnitine is toxic and biologically inactive in the body while L-carnitine is much-needed, actively supporting the energy metabolism.
