L-carnitine is a functional active ingredient with key functions in energy metabolism. Studies show a clear effect of long-term feeding of pure carnitine. It is proven that at least 50 mg of L-carnitine per pigeon must be provided daily in order to see a significant increase in performance.
It is absolutely necessary to ensure a continuous supply of L-carnitine during the race, as this is the only way L-carnitine can be absorbed into the muscle cells. The performance-enhancing effects will therefore only occur after long-term administration and will manifest themselves in an increased enjoyment of training.
The main importance of L-carnitine lies in the transport of fatty acids from the cell plasma into the mitochondria, i.e. into the power plants of the cells, and thus in the energy production from fatty acids, which is important for the race. L-carnitine has the ability to prevent muscle fatigue and cramping by binding free acetyl residues and thus preventing their damaging effect on muscle cells. L-carnitine also acts as a buffer for damaging lactic acid, so that the muscle does not become 'acidic' so quickly under extreme stress. Under 'normal' living conditions (outside of travel times), the need for L-carnitine can be covered largely by the body's own synthesis. A deficiency can nevertheless occur if there is a high need for it despite a low intake (grain mixed feed has an extremely low L-carnitine content).
We must assume that there is a significantly increased need when physical strain increases through training and racing. We therefore recommend feeding L-carnitine over a longer period of time, which is why the positive effect can be expected. Racing pigeons tire less quickly, which means that the flight speed can be kept high over a longer period of time. The indirect cell protection function of L-carnitine protects the muscle. This counteracts the harmful 'acidic' development of the muscles and the pigeon can thus achieve top performance over the long term.
An active metabolism is a prerequisite for top performance in modern racing pigeon sport. We recommend a traditional preparation to activate the metabolism. Functional additives can also achieve performance-enhancing effects! A more than central concern of our recommendations.
For activation, we use the strong stimulating effect of high amounts of iodine on the metabolism. This makes it very easy to get pigeons in shape. After just a few doses of elemental iodine, a clear change in the pigeons can be seen, but this can only be achieved with elemental iodine. In addition to thyroid function, iodine plays an important role in regulating physiological processes such as growth, moulting and reproduction as well as immune functions and it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Furthermore, iodine is also of great importance in the treatment of fungal diseases, such as infections with Candida fungi. Following antibiotic treatment, administration of iodine for several days is recommended. In addition, iodine is of great importance in the treatment and prevention of smallpox due to its disinfecting effect.
