L-Carnitine is an amino acid derivative and occurs naturally in the body. It is essential for the energy metabolism - in particular the fat metabolism.
Endogenous synthesis is often not sufficient to cover the animal's requirements.
Scientific research gives evidence that a dietary supplement may aid in the following situations:
young/elderly individuals (reduced biosynthesis)
increased performance requirement (growth, etc.)
stress (cold, heat, pregnancy, lactation, change in feed, transport)
conditions of sustained exertion (racing and sport animals)
weight management programs
diets low in L-Carnitine
high-fat diet
cardiac, liver, kidney and bowel disorders
fertility problems (e.g. sperm motility, return to oestrus)
