Maintaining healthy L-carnitine levels is essential for skeletal and cardiac muscle function and, importantly, for maintaining mitochondrial health, which is important for healthy aging [7274].* In preclinical studies, it has been shown that L-carnitine insufficiency is associated with aging and compromised mitochondrial function and metabolic health [75].* L-carnitine and ALCAR supplementation may help to maintain healthy L-carnitine levels in tissues, support mitochondrial performance, and promote healthy aging [76,77]
Hereditary causes include genetic defects in the metabolism of amino acids, cholesterol, and fatty acids, such as propionyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (aka propionic acidemia) and medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (36)
