Bluebonnet’s Liquid L-Carnitine 1100 mg contains free-form L-Carnitine, hydroxycitric acid and pantothenic acid. Available in easy-to-absorb liquid form in natural raspberry or vanilla flavors. L-Carnitine is essential for the production of energy from fat. Fatty acids are one of the primary energy sources of the body. Fat consists of three fatty acids linked to an alcohol molecule. The production of energy from fat requires that fatty acids be transported from the cytosol of the cell into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation. The cytosol is the semi-fluid component in which the other parts of the cell are suspended. The mitochondrion is part of the cell, which is commonly referred to as the “powerhouse," since this is where the energy is ultimately produced. Beta-oxidation is the process of fatty acid breakdown or “fat burning.” Although fatty acids need to enter the mitochondria for beta-oxidation, the fatty acids themselves are unable to penetrate the inner mitochondrial membrane. L-Carnitine is essential in transporting long chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane for subsequent fat breakdown and energy production.
