Elcar, 300 mg/ml 50 ml

Elcar is a remedy for the correction of metabolic processes.

L-carnitine (a natural substance related to the B vitamins) is involved in metabolic processes as a carrier of fatty acids through cell membranes from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria where these acids are oxidized (beta-oxidation process) with the formation of large amounts of metabolic energy (in the form of ATP). L-carnitine increases resistance of nervous tissue to damaging factors (hypoxia, injury, intoxication, etc.), inhibits the formation of keto acids and anaerobic glycolysis, reduces lactacidosis.

The drug replenishes alkaline blood reserve, restores autoregulation of cerebral hemodynamics and increases blood supply to the affected area, accelerates reparative processes in the lesion and has an anabolic effect.
