VETFOOD BARFeed L-carnitine 100g

fatty acids from the cytosol to the mitochondria, where they are oxidised, resulting in the production of energy. Disturbances in carnitine metabolism can have
an adverse e ect on the energy supply to cells. In addition, carnitine participates
in the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, acetylcholine biosynthesis and
detoxi cation processes. It is a substance with antioxidant properties.
protects heart muscle cells from damage caused by lack of blood L-carnitine
supply (ischaemia). It supports aerobic capacity and muscle endurance and is recommended for active and sporting dogs. In addition, it is one of the nutrients that
can slow down the deterioration of cognitive abilities in ageing animals. The bene-
cial e ects of these ingredients on the nervous system may be due to improved
mitochondrial function. The brains of elderly dogs produce signi cant amounts of
reactive oxygen species, which can cause damage to cellular macromolecules. It
has been shown that enriching the diet with antioxidants and mitochondrial cofactors can reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species. Which supports the
reduction of oxidative damage in the brain.
