History and Usage:
Carnitine is a non-essential amino acid formed in the kidneys from the amino acids lysine and methionine. (“Non-essential” means the body is able to produce the amino acid). Carnitine aids in converting fatty acids into energy used by the muscles throughout the body. It is stored in the skeletal muscles, heart, brain and sperm. An inadequate carnitine level may present itself in symptoms including confusion, heart pain, muscle weakness and obesity.
Because the heart contains the most carnitine of any organ there are several heart or circulation conditions which may benefit from additional carnitine intake. The heart requires a lot of energy and carnitine appears to help it function better. Two separate studies have shown that added carnitine is particularly helpful in reducing angina (chest pain). It has also been suggested by studies that individuals who take carnitine shortly after a heart attack may be less likely to suffer another heart attack, die of heart disease, experience chest pain or develop congestive heart failure (CHF). Other studies appear to indicate that carnitine may be beneficial in treating those already suffering from CHF.
A decrease in blood flow to the legs from atherosclerosis can cause pain or aching in the legs and impede walking. The condition is known as intermittent claudication. Studies showed significant improvement in muscle function and exercise capacity of those with intermittent claudication who took carnitine supplements. Carnitine also appears to have significant impact on cholesterol levels. In several studies, carnitine lowered overall cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL levels.
Carnitine may also benefit several other conditions. Research is ongoing in these areas: Chronic fatigue syndrome, Down’s syndrome, male infertility, Peyronie’s disease and hyperthyroidism.
