L-carnitine and iodine – by Alfred Berger…


Stimulate metabolism

An active metabolism is a prerequisite for top performance in modern pigeon racing. We recommend a traditional preparation for activating the metabolism. Furthermore, functional additives can achieve performance-enhancing effects! A more than central concern of our recommendations.

For activation we use the strongly stimulating effect of high amounts of iodine on the metabolism. This makes it very easy to get pigeons in the right shape. After just a few doses of elementary iodine, you can see a clear change in the pigeons, but this can only be achieved with elementary 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. Iodine also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Furthermore, iodine also has a greater importance for the treatment of fungal diseases such. B. Infections with Candida fungi. Following antibiotic treatments, 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. With L-carnitine, we have a functional active ingredient with key functions in energy metabolism at our disposal. Studies show a clear influence of the long-term feeding of pure L-carnitine. There it is proven that at least a daily supply of 50 mg L-carnitine per pigeon must be guaranteed in order to be able to recognize a significant increase in performance. It is absolutely necessary that a continuous supply of L-carnitine is ensured during the travel time. Because L-carnitine can only be absorbed into the muscle cells. The performance-enhancing effects will therefore only appear after a long-term administration and will be expressed in an increased pleasure in training. The essential importance of L-carnitine lies in the transport of fatty acids from the cell plasma into the mitochondria. In other words, in the power plants of the cells and thus in the generation of energy from fatty acids, which is important for the race. L-carnitine has the ability to prevent muscle fatigue and cramps by binding free acetyl residues and thus preventing their damaging effects on muscle cells. Furthermore, L-carnitine serves as a buffer for the damaging lactic acid, so that the muscles do not become "sour" so quickly under extreme stress. Under "normal" living conditions (outside the travel season) the need for L-carnitine can be mostly covered by the body's own synthesis. A deficiency can nevertheless occur if there is a high requirement with a low intake (mixed grain feed has an extremely low content of L-carnitine!). We have to assume a significantly increased need when the physical strain increases due to training and racing. We therefore recommend feeding L-carnitine over a longer period of time, which can be expected to have a positive effect. 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 muscles. This counteracts the harmful "sour" of the muscles and the pigeon can achieve permanent peak performance. With normal training at home, the long-term administration of L-carnitine leads to a significantly increased joy of flying due to the influences described. The longer and more intensive training sessions, which are easy to achieve as a result, lead to a proven training effect that promotes all metabolic functions. The pigeons regenerate very quickly even after heavy use. One of the prerequisites for top performance is given. L-carnitine increases performance indirectly by optimizing cell metabolism and thus also shortens the relaxation phases.
