Life Extension, Optimized Carnitine, 60 Vegetarian Capsules

Optimized Carnitine provides three enhanced forms of carnitine to optimize cellular energy production. All three of these powerful forms of carnitine work together to help the body recover faster after exercise while supporting heart, brain and nervous system health.

Carnitine is an amino derivative found in the body that transports fatty acids to the mitochondria for use as energy.

Benefits of Optimized Carnitine

• Optimizes cellular energy production & availability
• Promotes brain & heart health
• Supports youthful recovery after sport

Carnitine is an amino derivative found in nearly every cell in the body that transports fatty acids to the mitochondria to be used as fuel for energy production. Optimized Carnitine provides three enhanced forms of carnitine that work together to help your mitochondria produce cellular energy quickly and efficiently. This increase in cellular function helps counteract the age-related decline in cellular energy and is essential for your brain and heart, as well as for recovery after exercise.

acetyl-L-carnitine

This is the form of carnitine that is primarily involved in the movement of fat molecules across the mitochondrial membrane. It travels from the bloodstream to the brain and delivers additional energy directly to brain cells.

Brain function: Most studies on neurodegeneration use the acetyl carnitine form. Research has shown improvements in memory and learning ability, as well as mental status and cognitive function.

Mood boost: Preclinical studies have shown that acetyl-L-carnitine increases the release of dopamine (the feel-good neurotransmitter) from neurons and helps bind to dopamine receptors. Various studies suggest that it can stabilize and improve mood.

acetyl-L-carnitine arginate

Acetyl-L-carnitine arginate (ACA) is molecularly linked to the amino acid arginine. ACA has been shown in preclinical settings to stimulate the outgrowth of tiny but essential nerve cell projections called neurites, which support memory formation and learning ability.

Propionyl-L-Carnitine

Research has shown that propionyl-L-carnitine (PLC) plays an important role in protecting the function and health of endothelial cells. It has been shown to help correct an imbalance between the production and utilization of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "energy currency" used throughout the body. This suggests that PLC may optimize cardiac performance by improving energy metabolism and increasing ATP levels.

To further protect vascular cells from damage, PLC optimizes endothelial function by increasing the production of vasodilating nitric oxide.

Due to its mechanisms of action, PLC can help improve physical performance, male sexual function and general fatigue.
