Whey Amino 1000 Suplement Sci Fit
Sci-Fit Whey Amino 1000 Sci-Fit’s Whey Amino 1000 is the premiere amino acid formula enhanced with the amino acid L-Carnitine. Sci-Fit’s Whey Amino 1000 is comprised of most of the essential and non-essential amino acids necessary for proper muscle function and repair. The amino acids in Sci Fit’s Whey Amino 1000 are derived from whey protein concentrate and ion-exchange whey, two of the most potent sources of bio-available protein in existence. Amino Acids in muscle cells can be depleted by even moderate activity, making proper amino acid supplementation essential for proper muscle function. Sci-Fit’s Whey Amino 1000 comes enhanced with a potent dose of L-Carnitine: There are two major functions of L-Carnitine. All tissues except the brain use long-chain fatty acids for bioenergy production. In cardiac and skeletal muscle a major contribution of bioenergy comes from beta-oxidation of long chain fatty acids. Long chain fatty acids require L-Carnitine to transport them across the inner membranes of the mitochondria (your body’s energy factories), wherein their metabolism produces bioenergy. Following the delivery of the long-chain fatty acids into other mitochondria, L-Carnitine, either by itself or esterfied to an acyl group, recrosses the mitochondrial membrane to allow for continual use in this shuttle process. Another function of L-Carnitine is to remove short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids from the mitochondria in order to maintain coenzyme A levels in these organelles. These fatty acids accumulate as a result of normal and abnormal metabolism. This mechanism prevents the build-up in the mitochondria of short-chain and medium chain fatty acids that may interfere with the bioenergy-producing process vital to normal cell function.1 L-Carnitine is an important, some would say essential, amino acid to transport system of fatty acids that provide fuel to the mitochondria, so that they can produce and maintain proper levels of “bioenergy”. 1.
