Mitachondral supplements L-Carnitine plus endorphin precursors.
Use Mitachondral as a pre-event treatment after regular
supplementation with L-Carnitine twice weekly.
Mitachondral supplies the amino acid L-Carnitine in the same manner
as L-Carnitine injection and paste, but has the added amino acids
Phenylalanine and Isoleucine.
Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid which inhibits the breakdown
of opiate-like substances in the brain called encephalins.1 Reduced
breakdown of encephalins by phenylalanine results in analgesia (pain relief).2
Isoleucine is also involved in the production of endorphins.
Phenyalanine is also anti-inflammatory and has been used in human patients to treat chronic pain.1
L-Carnitine is essential for normal heart and skeletal muscle function.
During hard exercise there is extensive loss of L-Carnitine, and this often
cannot be replaced adequately from the diet alone.
High levels of L-Carnitine are necessary, because L-Carnitine plays
an essential role in muscle metabolism during exercise by forming
the transport system which moves fatty acids into muscle cells for
conversion into energy. L-Carnitine also inhibits the buildup of lactic
acid in muscles, which helps delay fatigue in hard working muscles.
Fatigue causes pain in muscles. L-Carnitine delays muscle fatigue by reducing lactic acid formation, and improves sprint and endurance performance.3
It increases endurance, as fat is the major energy source for endurance
exercise. During sprinting L-Carnitine buffers lactic acid and delays fatigue.
L-Carnitine supplementation increases maximum work output, and is
of value especially in horses which are prone to fatigue and Tying Up.
The added amino acids aids in reducing the perception of pain which may follow muscle fatigue and Tying Up.
