The best food sources of Carnitine are organ meat, fish, muscle meats, and milk products. The optimal daily diet supplies only 300 mg. per day, but the endurance athlete requires between 3000-4000 mg. per day! Even when an athlete obtains max-dietary sources, intense training can deplete Carnitine stores more rapidly than the body can replenish it.
During the first hour of exercise Carnitine mobilizes fatty acids in muscle mitochondria supplying 35-39% of the caloric needs, but after 90 minutes or so later at the same rate of exercise fatty acid conversion becomes the predominant fuel supplying 65-70% of the caloric requirements. During prolonged exercise, blood lipids increase dramatically. There is always more than adequate fatty acids available forconversion IF there is adequate levels Carnitine to "ferry" long chain fatty acids through mitochondrial membranes. Symptoms of Carnitine deficiency are extreme muscle weakness with high blood lipids.(JOURNAL OF LABORATORY CLINICAL MEDICINE, 1984;104:166-175, and MEDICAL SCIENCE SPORTS EXERCISE, 1984;16:263-268) Body fat peripheral accumulation is enhanced when these excessive serum lipid counts are not carried to the mitochondrial matrix for conversion to energy.
