L - Carnitine
|
| What
L-Carnitine Is |
|
L-Carnitine is a vitamin like nutrient and
occurs naturally in the body.
The function of L-Carnitine in animal production was discovered in the late 1980's,then
research studies followed at major universities, feed companies and farms. These research and
studies demonstrated and proved L-Carnitine innovative and effective in improving fat
metabolism. Presently, its effectiveness in increasing the efficiency has received significant
attention and L-Carnitine begin to be added in diets for livestock, racing and pet animals.
With L-Carnitine technology, we can offer the animal exactly what is needed --- maximum
performance, fitness, and profitability. |
|
| What
its Function |
|
L-Carnitine is involved in a couple of
processes in cellular fat metabolism. It serves there as receptor substance for activated
fatty acids/organic acids.
In particular L-Carnitine is essential for the following processes: |
|
L-carnitine is essential for the fat metabolism. Therefore, it is named "the energy
vitamin".
But endogenous synthesis is often not sufficient to cover the animal's requirements.
Scientific research gives evidence that a dietary supplement may be beneficial in the
following situations:
Young/elderly individuals (reduced biosynthesis)
Increased performance requirement (growth, etc.)
Stress (cold, heat, pregnancy, lactation,change in feed, transport)
Conditions of sustained exertion (racing and sport animals)
Weight management programs
Diets low in L-Carnitine
High-fat diet
Cardiac, liver, kidney and bowel disorders
Fertility problems (e.g. sperm motility,return to oestrus)
Surgical interventions and convalescence
Treatment with certain drugs
Chemically Carnitine comes in two stereo-iso-meric forms: L-Carnitine and D-Carnitine, but
only the L-form is biologically active and occurs in nature. In general only the L-form has
been recommended as feed additive.
