Carnitine is one of the most important nutrients needed for maintaining and promoting health, with over 158 clinical trials performed in humans.1* Much of the clinical benefit of carnitine derives from the fact that carnitine is essential for fat burning and therefore energy production in nearly all cells. Carnitine promotes cellular energy by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, where they are burned for energy. Just as importantly, carnitine also removes metabolic wastes from the mitochondria to keep them smooth running.2*
Because the heart derives 70% of its energy from fat, and carnitine is needed for fat burning, it comes as no surprise that carnitine is crucial for heart health and offers important nutritional support for many heart conditions, including angina.3* Carnitine supplementation has also been found to reduce complications and overall deaths dramatically in patients in the four weeks directly following a heart attack.4*
Why Add Biotin to Carnitine?
While carnitine supports fat burning, it can also stimulate gluconeogenesis,34 which is the liver’s over-production of sugar. Biotin helps suppress gluconeogenesis,35 thus helping to optimize the metabolic effect of carnitine. Therefore, when using carnitine to support fatty acid oxidation, we strongly recommend taking 1 mg of biotin for every 500 mg of carnitine to keep gluconeogenesis and insulin metabolism balanced.
