L-CARNITINE
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that plays an important role in the body's energy production. It helps transport fatty acids to the mitochondria, where these fatty acids are converted into energy. L-carnitine is thus essential for the metabolism of fats and contributes to efficient energy supply, especially during efforts such as sports. L-carnitine is mainly found in animal products such as meat and fish, but the body can also produce it itself in the liver and kidneys from the amino acids lysine and methionine.
L-Carnitine deficiency can lead to fatigue, reduced physical performance.... L-Carnitine is a valuable addition to dogs' diets, especially for active or older dogs who need additional support for energy production, weight management and heart health.
