Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells, being also linked to the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies.
Amino acids are classified as essential or non-essential. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained through the diet, while non-essential amino acids, although extremely important for health, can be synthesized in the body and are therefore not classified as "essential" .
LAMBERTS amino acids are presented in "free form", that is, they are ready to be absorbed and used by the body (they do not need to be digested).
Carnitine is an important amino acid that is made in the body from lysine in the presence of vitamin C, and is found mainly in foods of animal origin.
Its most important known metabolic function is to transport long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria of muscle cells (including those of the myocardium), where they are oxidized for energy. Carnitine is also responsible for the removal of waste products from mitochondria. L-Carnitine, and in particular Acetyl L-Carnitine, is widely recommended by health professionals.
L-Acetyl Carnitine, as HCL, 500mg from LAMBERTS is a One a Day formula.
Manufactured in the UK under strict GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing standards.
It is suitable for vegetarians.
Acetyl L-Carnitine is an altered form of the amino acid, L-Carnitine, and is one of the most researched forms of carnitine.
Furthermore, evidence suggests that the absorption from the small intestine of the acetyl form of this amino acid is particularly better.
