L-Carnitine with Vitamin B1

L-Carnatine w/ B1 is one of Dr. Hans Nieper’s formulas that supports the following systems:

• Cardiovascular System
• Lymphatic System
• Hormonal System
• Muscular System
• Respiratory System

L-carnitine was called vitamin Bt when first discovered in 1952. Later research determined that the body could manufacture L-carnitine so it lost its status as a vitamin.
For the body to manufacture L-carnitine, sufficient amounts of the amino acids lysine and methionine, along with iron and vitamins C, B3 and B6 must be available. Carnitine is synthesized in the liver, kidney, and the brain.

The skeletal muscles and the heart require a steady supply of carnitine to utilize long chain fatty acids as a fuel source. These tissues cannot manufacture carnitine so carnitine must be transported to these tissues from other organs by the bloodstream.
L-carnitine deficiency can result because of reduced L-carnitine in the diet, reduced L-carnitine synthesis due to lack of building blocks, and/or excessive loss of L-carnitine due to urine losses when toxins are present. L-carnitine is found in high concentrations in animal foods, but not in plants. This means vegetarians are more predisposed to L-carnitine deficiency.
