CarnitinAgil

1. Vegans & Vegetarians: If you eat a mainly vegetarian or vegan diet, your daily carnitine intake may be reduced.
2. Athletes: Are you physically active and feel that your body does not produce enough carnitine itself? Do you want to support your energy metabolism? Then CarnitinAgil is just the thing for you! In addition to carnitine, CarnitinAgil also contains vitamin E and manganese. Manganese contributes to normal energy metabolism.

That's why you should try CarnitinAgil

We pay special attention to ensuring that the body can actually absorb the active ingredients. That's why we add BioPerine®, a special extract from black pepper, to our recipes, which has been proven to promote the absorption of vital substances. With us, you receive combinations of vital substances that reach exactly where they are actually needed in your body and are not simply excreted unused.

L-carnitine is an amino acid. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins (proteins). Our body can produce carnitine independently. To do this, it needs two other amino acids (lysine and methionine) as well as some cofactors such as vitamin C. We also ingest carnitine through food. A particularly good source is meat.

Carnitine is needed to transport fats to the place where they are broken down. Only when bound to carnitine can the fatty acids cross the mitochondrial membrane. Mitochondria are the power plants of your cell. This is where energy is created from fats, for example. This energy is then needed by your muscles, among other things. Therefore, one symptom of a carnitine deficiency is muscle weakness. But cramps or general tiredness can also occur. As you can see, these are very unspecific symptoms that could have other causes. With a balanced diet, it is very unlikely that you will suffer from a carnitine deficiency. Vegans and vegetarians are more at risk here, as the main source of carnitine is meat.

CarnitinAgil is designed to help you fill your carnitine stores. CarnitinAgil also contains the valuable components manganese and vitamin E. Vitamin E and manganese help protect cells from oxidative stress. Manganese contributes to normal energy metabolism, supports the maintenance of normal bones and the normal formation of connective tissue.

When taking carnitine, interactions with a few medications may occur. If in doubt, we recommend that you consult a doctor beforehand. In general, it is advisable to adjust your diet while taking CarnitinAgil. Take a look at the section “Should I change my diet at the same time?”. However, it is important that the recommended consumption amount is not exceeded. AgilNature products also contain piperine. There are a few tips to keep in mind: Notes on BioPerine

Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet or a healthy lifestyle. In general, it is always advisable to pay attention to a balanced and varied diet. In the following lines we have put together a few tips for you on the subject of carnitine and nutrition: One of the most important sources of carnitine is meat, but peas and nuts also contain small amounts of carnitine as plant-based alternatives. In order for your body to be able to produce carnitine on its own, it needs lysine, methionine, vitamin C, vitamin B6, niacin and iron. Foods rich in lysine include meat, cheese, fish, chickpeas, lentils and beans. Foods rich in methionine include fish, cheese, meat and soybeans. Foods rich in vitamin C include sea buckthorn, peppers, blackcurrants, parsley and citrus fruits. Foods rich in vitamin B6 include fish, meat, walnuts and soybeans. Foods rich in niacin include fish, meat, mung beans, peanuts and mushrooms. Iron-rich foods include liver, meat, sesame, oatmeal and soy.

Legally speaking, food supplements are considered food. They contain nutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are also found in normal food. In food supplements, however, these substances are in concentrated form and usually in a higher dosage. Food supplements are available in various forms. There are tablets, capsules, powders, effervescent tablets or even liquids. Some food supplements also contain plant extracts.

The AgilNature nutritional supplements are developed in collaboration with nutritionists. The valuable formulations mostly consist of a mineral and vitamin complex combined with plant extracts and are specifically tailored to their functions. The formulation combines the latest scientific findings with tried and tested old wisdom. The carefully selected ingredients make the AgilNature products a valuable nutritional supplement. The AgilNature nutritional supplements are high-quality products that are developed and manufactured according to the strict guidelines of the AgilNature quality promise. By avoiding known allergens, chemical additives and genetically modified substances, a high level of tolerability is guaranteed. Out of ethical conviction, we avoid all animal raw materials. CarnitinAgil is 100% vegan!

In our nutritional supplements, we use the power of nature in addition to the vitamin and mineral complexes in order to contribute holistically to maintaining health. Unfortunately, there is very strict regulation of the marketing of nutritional supplements in the EU. We are therefore hardly allowed to advertise the effects of certain plant substances. However, that does not mean that they cannot work. If you want to find out more about the effects of plant substances, then do your own research. You will be surprised at the power that plants have!

Unfortunately, many people today do not have sufficiently filled micronutrient stores. This is mainly due to our lifestyle. Diet plays a big part in this. Currently, our diet often contains too much sugar and white flours as well as too much unhealthy fat and not enough fiber and plant-based food sources. If you want to refill your nutrient stores, make sure you eat a balanced and varied diet. But dietary supplements can also help you to fill up your reserves.

Dietary supplements are repeatedly criticized for leading to an overdose. Yes, dietary supplements may contain vitamins or minerals in higher concentrations than you would get from a normal diet. However, this does not immediately pose a risk of overdose. In fact, many people tend to have too few micronutrients in their stores.

Our body also has numerous sophisticated regulatory mechanisms, so that in many cases it only gets the nutrients from food that it really needs. However, it makes sense to have a blood analysis done by your family doctor before taking very highly concentrated food supplements in order to get an overview of your own storage and then be able to make a personalized selection of possible food supplements.

Sometimes dietary supplements are criticized for being potentially contaminated. However, our AgilNature quality promise guarantees dietary supplements that are free of known allergens, chemical additives and genetically modified substances. This means we can guarantee a high level of compatibility.

However, dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. The mere consumption of dietary supplements is often not enough to do something good for your body. If you want to get to the root of the reasons for your micronutrient deficiencies, you should start where you get most of your nutrients from: your diet. It is best to ensure a varied diet that contains many different types of fruit and vegetables, some whole grain products and few finished products and sweets. If you find this difficult, you can always get advice from various nutritionists: inside.

Recognizing a micronutrient deficiency is often not that easy. The body usually signals a deficiency with unspecific symptoms such as listlessness, tiredness or reduced stress tolerance. However, if massive deficiencies occur, they can manifest themselves in deficiency-related diseases. However, if you suspect this is the case with you, you should see a doctor.

However, most micronutrient deficiencies are not as severe. A good way to illustrate this is to compare people with gears that mesh and influence each other. If some gears are already a bit worn, the system no longer runs so smoothly. If some of your micronutrient stores are no longer so full, this has an impact on other processes in your body. So it makes sense to always fill your storage well. This can be achieved with a balanced and varied diet and possibly additional food supplements. A simple way to determine your micronutrient needs is to ask your doctor for an analysis of your micronutrient status.

Dietary supplements are often criticized. But there are also many people who never want to do without dietary supplements again. Now who is right?

Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered unequivocally, but in the following lines we would like to give you a few reasons why we believe that the consumption of dietary supplements can be useful.

1. Dietary supplements can help you to fill up certain nutrient deficiencies more quickly than a simple change in diet would do. Nevertheless, it makes sense to adjust your diet in parallel with the consumption of food supplements, because food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
2. The AgilNature food supplements are also put together in such a way that they provide you with the best possible combination of minerals, vitamins and selected plant extracts for a specific goal.
3. Are you vegan? Of course we're happy about that, because you're protecting the animals and our environment, but you should definitely supplement with vitamin B12. Unfortunately, vitamin B12 can only be found in foods of animal origin and cannot be produced by the body itself. It is therefore essential for you to take vitamin B12 as a dietary supplement or in fortified foods. Attention: Even vegetarians: Despite the consumption of milk and milk products as well as eggs, internal vitamin B12 levels are often too low. It is therefore advisable for both vegans and vegetarians to have their vitamin B12 status and other critical micronutrients such as iron checked by their family doctor on a regular basis.
4. The desire for children is growing in you, but you don't want to do anything wrong when it comes to nutrition? Here you should pay particular attention to a sufficient intake or supplementation of folic acid and not just when you are already pregnant, but also when you are planning to become pregnant. However, we recommend that you inform yourself about this. You can either do this with your gynecologist or, even better, with a nutritionist: in.
5. You probably already knew that the body can synthesize vitamin D independently through the skin. But do you also know that in winter it is almost impossible to get enough sun to produce vitamin D adequately due to the position of the sun in our latitudes? Here, too, we strongly recommend having your family doctor check your vitamin D status and supplementing with vitamin D if necessary.

Study - Clinical Findings/ Science Spotlight/ Evidence Digest/ Study Snapshots: Recent studies show promising benefits of L-carnitine as a dietary supplement to help overweight and obese people manage their weight. A major study conducted by Askarpour et al. (2020) and published in the prestigious journal Pharmacological Research has examined the effectiveness of L-carnitine in more detail.

L-carnitine is a natural substance that plays an important role in the body in transporting fatty acids for energy production. The results of the meta-analysis showed that L-carnitine supplementation had significantly positive effects on weight regulation in overweight and obese adults. The researchers found a dose-dependent relationship, with higher doses of L-carnitine leading to greater benefits.
