A combination of L-Carnitine and
Coenzyme Q10
L-Carnitine is used by the body to transport long chain fatty acids
to the mitochondria in your cells, where it is burned for energy.
Since this fat burning is such a major source of muscular energy,
deficiencies in Carnitine are manifested as low energy levels and
muscular weakness. They can also appear as mental confusion or cloudiness,
angina (heart pain) and weight gain. Since the only dietary source
of L-Carnitine is meat, vegans and vegetarians, especially athletic
vegetarians are most susceptible to Carnitine deficiency.
Coenzyme Q10 sparks the mitochondrial energy production that runs all
vital body functions. Thus, processes such as the mechanical beating
of the heart and the electrical spiking of the brain must go on continually
to preserve the body and the cells of the body. Energy must continually
generate energy to support these processes. This steady stream of energy
for the "higher-level" body processes depends absolutely on
each cell's having adequate levels of CoQ10 with which to provide this
energy. |
