L-Carnitine supplements from Pharma Nord contain the only biologically active form of carnitine. Carnitine is produced in the liver and kidneys, but levels are depleted by intense physical activity. Carnitine is present in many foods and high concentrations can be found in red meats, such as beef or lamb. In comparison, there is little or no carnitine in white meats and vegetables, so vegetarians are at risk of deficiency. Why Pharma Nord Bio-Carnitine: Manufactured to pharmaceutical standards. Contains 250 mg of L-Carnitine, the only biologically active form. Perfectly balanced to give optimum absorption, as it contains L-Carnitine, which closely resembles the amino acid in the body. The D form of Carnitine in some supplements may interfere with the beneficial actions of L-Carnitine. How Much Should You Take? Pharma Nord recommends 1 capsule per day, or as directed by a physician. Suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Are There Any Adverse Effects From Taking Bio-Carnitine? There are no known drug contra-indications or adverse effects. Pregnant or lactating women and those on medication should consult a doctor before using any product.
