Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine (g-PLC) has several functions and health benefits. Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine (g-PLC) is a propionyl ester of carnitine (PLC) that includes an additional glycine component. Compared with other forms of carnitine, Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine exhibits a special affinity for muscle tissues, such as the heart. Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine (GPLC) is a powerful scavenger against superoxide radicals and it protects against lipid peroxidation. It assists energy production by facilitating the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria and likewise the removal of waste substances. Glycine propionyl L carnitine also contributes to muscle function by compensating for reduced oxygen availability during exercise and it provides powerful support for peripheral arterial blood flow. Under reduced oxygen conditions, Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine is also known to promote proper carbohydrate metabolism and reduce the build up of lactic acid in the body. Solgar´s Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine (g-PLC) tablets is one of Solgar's high quality amino acids complexes.
