PLC for PDH activation

[eljefe19]

Hey all,
Found a supplement that may help with energy some. It's a form of carnitine called PLC for short. Here's some points on it.

• ▴ Propionyl-L-carnitine stimulates energy production in ischaemic muscles by increasing citric acid cycle flux and stimulating pyruvate dehydrogenase activity. The free radical scavenging activity of the drug may also be beneficial.
  
  
• ▴ Propionyl-L-carnitine improves coagulative fibrinolytic homeostasis in vasal endothelium and positively affects blood viscosity.
  
  
• ▴ Improvements in maximum walking distance (MWD) correlated positively with increased mitochondrial oxidative adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis in a study in patients with peripheral arterial disease.

I take the Jarrow brand. It's chelated with glycine which is also antiinflammatory.

That said, I've never noticed any real difference between carnitine forms. I just keep taking them anyway.
