Embarazo

Existe cada vez más evidencia de que la L-carnitina puede desempeñar un papel importante durante el embarazo, especialmente en mujeres que siguen una dieta vegetariana o con consumo reducido de carne, para las cuales la ingesta diaria de L-Carnitina puede ser demasiado baja como para satisfacer las mayores necesidades durante el embarazo. Due to its excellent safety profile, Carnipure® supplementation may be appropriate for pregnant women to restore their L-Carnitine plasma levels and at the same time decrease plasma free fatty acids. Of course, pregnant women should always consult a physician before taking any dietary supplement. The studies below explain the role L-Carnitine plays to benefit pregnancy-related changes in L-Carnitine metabolism, the role it plays for the placenta, and its effects on lipid metabolism and glucose levels.
