L-Carnitine is an amino acid found in high concentrations in human heart and liver tissue, where it participates in metabolizing fatty acids into energy by the mitochondria.
Coenzyme Q-10 is an important antioxidant found in high concentration in human heart and liver tissue, particularly in the inner mitochondrial membrane where cell energy is produced. Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5) participates in the production of energy by the mitochondria. Lecithin facilitates the absorption of Co-Q10 and carnitine.
Jarrow Formulas’ Co-10 is derived from fermentation and consists only of the natural trans configuration, the same as sythesized by humans. Jarrow Formulas supports clinical research on Coenzyme Q10.

L-Carnitine is essential for the production of energy from fatty acids by virtue of its role in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria where energy is produced in a process called fatty acid oxidation. L-Carnitine enhances the rate of ATP production (also called oxidative phosphorylation) which is a key step in energy production throughout the body.

By enhancing fatty acid oxidation, carnitine can reduce triglyceride levels. Major body tissues, particularly the heart and skeletal muscles, depend on fatty acid oxidation as their primary source of energy. L-Carnitine Enhances regulate the rhythm of the heartbeat. L-Carnitine is also involved in sperm motility.

L-Carnitine is a vitamin-like molecule produced in the body from the essential amino acids lysine and methionine. One gram of L-Carnitine is equivalent to the amount of carnitine found in 3.5 lbs of steak. Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) is also involved in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria.
