Solgar L-Carnitine 500 mg Tablets is one of Solgar's premium amino acid products and contains L-Carnitine, an amino acid important for metabolism and the release of cellular energy.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are needed for many internal body functions. They are classified as 'essential' or 'non-essential', with essential amino acids not being produced by the body and having to be supplemented from the diet to maintain general good health. Amino acids can also be used by the body to make hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient carriers. Inadequate intake of essential amino acids increases the body's need for non-essential amino acids, either through diet or by taking supplements.

Carnitine is essentially a dipeptide – an amino acid made up of two other essential amino acids: Methionine and Lysine. L-Carnitine is important for fat metabolism, especially in the heart and muscle cells. It helps transport long-chain fatty acids into the cell's mitochondria, where they are burned and used as fuel. Rich sources of carnitine are meat and dairy products, while a certain percentage of carnitine may be needed from the diet, since the body does not have a sufficient amount.

Solgar L-Carnitine 500 mg Tablets is administered in 1 tablet per day, for easy consumption.

It does not contain sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, dairy products, and no preservatives, artificial flavors or colors are used in its preparation. Suitable for vegans.
