Fats – this is one of the main suppliers of energy for our body. When fat is oxidized in the body, twice as much energy is released than when carbohydrates are oxidized. The production of energy from fats occurs in special sections of the cell – mitochondria. There, fatty acids are broken down through a series of biochemical reactions with the release of a large amount of energy (ATP). But the inner membranes of mitochondria, due to their complex structure, are very poorly permeable to fatty acids. Therefore, some of them remain free and, ultimately, are deposited in the fat layer, and the body receives less energy. This is where L-carnitine comes into play. Main working mechanism L-carnitine – transportation of long chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix for beta-oxidation (beta-oxidation is a metabolic pathway for using fat stores as an energy source). Due to its spatial structure, L-carnitine is able to penetrate the mitochondrial membrane, carrying fatty acids with it to the place of combustion.
