How L-Carnitine Could Help Cancer Sufferers Overcome Fatigue
If you know someone who's struggling with cancer, one of the best gifts you could possibly give is a tip on how to overcome fatigue.
Here's the tip: L-carnitine.
As I've noted in previous e-Alerts, L-carnitine is a key amino acid produced in the kidneys and liver. Carnitine delivers fatty acids to cell mitochondria, helps protect cells (especially heart cells), raises the levels of certain enzymes needed to metabolize carbohydrates, and helps boost energy and muscle strength.
The body doesn't produce high levels of carnitine, but those levels are enhanced by dietary sources such as meat, chicken, fish, and dairy products. Unfortunately, the body only absorbs about a quarter of the carnitine supplied by food. And the problem is further complicated by the fact that our carnitine levels progressively decrease as we age.
