CarniClear supersaturated carnitine liquid is a pleasant naturally flavored non-acidic liquid form of carnitine. This product is both the most convenient, and most affordable way of delivering the multi-gram dosing of carnitine that is most oftenprescribed by health care practitioners. Vitamin B5 is added to support a necessary step in fat metabolism, the synthesis of Coenzyme A, which is essential for the transport of fat by l-carnitine. Vitamin B12 is an important cofactor in many metabolic pathways, including endogenous carnitine synthesis. Diets low in animal meat are very deficient in Vitamin B12, as well as carnitine. L-Carnitine is a compound naturally occurring in all foods but significant amounts are only found in dark meats (due to high concentration of mitochondria), for example: lamb (190mg/4 oz), beef (143mg/4 oz) , poultry(13mg/4 oz), fish (3-10mg/4 oz). Carnitine supplementation may be needed especially for vegetarian diets or when dark meats are consumed in small amounts because neither preformed carnitine nor its precursor amino acids are ingested in adequate amounts to support optimal health.
