Benefits over standard L-Carnitine
Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine is marketed as GlycoCarn© through Sigma-tau HealthScience, Inc. This ingredient is USP grade certified and consists of a molecular bonded form of propionyl-L-carnitine and one of the carnitine precursor amino acids, glycine
Propionyl-L-carnitine is a form of carnitine with high specificity towards both skeletal muscle and heart tissue, and has been reported to possess benefits beyond those observed with typical L-carnitine (Brevetti et al., 1999; Fritz, 1979).
The following text discusses how this novel ingredient might aid exercise performance, while simultaneously leading to body fat loss in certain individuals.
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts are constantly looking for methods to improve exercise performance and to lose body fat. GPLC shows promise for favorable outcome in exercise performance & metabolism. Read more!

Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine (GlycoCarn©) & Exercise Metabolism
dot
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts are constantly looking for methods to improve exercise performance and to lose additional body fat. In this quest, individuals look towards advanced exercise training methods, dietary strategies, and nutritional supplements.
Pertaining to the latter, several products are available, some with a substantial body of evidence in support of their use (e.g., creatine, caffeine), and many more with little to no evidence indicating beneficial effects on either exercise performance or body composition.
The novel ingredient Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine (GPLC) is a component of several new nutritional supplements which are now commercially available, with the potential to influence the above parameters.
While controlled research studies to support the use of GPLC as a performance enhancer have yet to be conducted, two recent reports indicate a potent effect of this compound on elevating blood nitric oxide (Bloomer et al., 2007; Bloomer et al., in press), as well as decreasing free radical medicated modifications to blood lipids (Bloomer et al., in press).
Both of these findings may be linked to improved exercise performance, as nitric oxide is responsible for increasing blood flow to active tissues (Collier and Vallance, 1991), and free radicals are known to interfere with physical performance (Goldhaber and Qayyum, 2000) and to promote greater fatigue rates in skeletal muscle (Reid et al., 2001).
The following text discusses how this novel ingredient might aid exercise performance, while simultaneously leading to body fat loss in certain individuals.
GPLC And Fatty Acid Transport
The process of fat "burning" involves a complex interplay of several factors including:
1. Fatty acid mobilization from storage sites (i.e., fat cells)
2. Transport of fatty acids to the target tissue
3. Uptake of fatty acids into the cell
4. Activation of fatty acids via an ATP dependent process
5. Movement of activated long chain fatty acids into the inner mitochondrial matrix (via the carnitine dependent enzymes called carnitine acyl transferase 1 (CAT1) and carnitine acyl transferase 2 (CAT2)
6. Degrading fatty acids into the final products which will be used for energy production (acetyl CoA and the electron carriers NADH and FADH2) via a process called beta oxidation
7. Krebs cycle and electron transport chain (the pathways where ATP energy is produced from the products created within beta oxidation)
