Why Plantina L-carnitine
|

It ensures that the most important fuel for the cells arrives at the location where the energy is generated. For that reason, the heart of people young and old must always have sufficient L-carnitine. For elite athletes to deliver a top performance, and for older people, even for normal day-to-day activities.

D-ribose, L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10. Which of the three?
|
The three substances work together, each with their own specific function. It is therefore not possible to clearly determine which substance or combination should be taken by preference. The general recommendation, for a maintenance dose, is to opt for L-carnitine (certainly for vegetarians) and/or coenzyme Q10. For active people (sport), D-ribose is the preferred substance. |
