L-Carnitine Deficiency
L-Carnitine deficiency can cause health problems, such as
fatigue and weight problems. Although initially L-Carnitine
deficiency causes minor problems, in the long-term L-Carnitine
deficiency can contribute to more serious health problems.
Heart Disease is among the more serious health problems that
L-Carnitine deficiency can cause. With a lack of L-Carnitine,
fatty tissue is unable to be processed normally and therefore
can often build up to unhealthy levels around the heart. An
unhealthy build up of fatty tissue around the heart can lead to
heart related diseases.
L-Carnitine deficiency can be caused by a genetic default,
damage to the kidneys, liver, or brain, or through improper
dietary intake. L-Carnitine is naturally produced in the
kidneys, liver and brain, yet if there is a genetic default,
then the body is inclined to produce less than what is required
by the body.
If the kidneys, liver, or brain is damaged during birth, or
through some kind of medical difficulty, or accident, then they
may not be capable of functioning normally and therefore may not
be capable of producing adequate amounts of L-Carnitine in order
to support the body's normal functions.
When a person damages their kidneys, liver, or brain,
L-Carnitine production is interrupted and the result leads to
slow production of fatty acid, which in turn leads to a slowing
of the energy distribution throughout the body. You will often
find people with kidney, liver, or brain damage are slow and put
on weight easily.
The reason that people with kidney, liver, or brain damage are
slow and put on weight easily, is that the fatty acids are not
being transformed into energy and therefore build up to
unhealthy levels. People with serious kidney, liver, or brain
damage are often confined to bed, or a wheelchair.
Although L-Carnitine is
naturally produced in our kidneys, liver
and brain, we still require some extra L-Carnitine to support
our growth when we are children, our systems in times of illness
and to provide supplementation when there is a L-Carnitine
deficiency from genetic, or medical problems.
It is for these reasons that L-Carnitine can be found in
mother's milk, which gives the baby more energy and aids a
baby's growth. L-Carnitine can also be found in Red Meat,
Poultry, Fish, Avocadoes, Wheat, Fermented Soybeans, Wheat,
Asparagus and Peanut Butter and Dairy Products.
When a person is suffering from a minor L-Carnitine deficiency
they usually benefit from a change in their dietary intake, or
from a small amount of L-Carnitine supplement in order to boost
their system. Including L-Carnitine rich foods in your dietary
intake is also though to be a preventive to developing serious
health conditions.
A person who is already suffering from a serious health
condition may require long-term L-Carnitine supplementation in
order to aid them in their recovery, combined with healthy
dietary changes. L-Carnitine supplementation is often used for
people suffering from Cancer, or other serious illnesses.
Although a person who has a genetic L-Carnitine deficiency can
benefit from the implementation of a diet full of L-Carnitine
rich foods, they may benefit from taking L-Carnitine supplements
throughout their life. A genetic L-Carnitine deficiency is
unlike a person suffering from serious illness, where they have
the possibility of recovery.
