A connected view of energy metabolism

L-carnitine and vitamin B12 participate at different points in normal cellular metabolism in cats and dogs.

L-carnitine helps transport long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, where they can enter normal oxidative energy pathways. Research in overweight cats and exercised Labrador Retrievers has reported measurable metabolic effects under specific study conditions.[1,2]

Vitamin B12 functions as a cofactor in reactions associated with DNA synthesis, methylation and normal cellular metabolism. Low cobalamin status may also occur in cats and dogs with certain gastrointestinal or pancreatic conditions.[3,4]

Metafisiol supplies L-carnitine and vitamin B12 together with vitamin B6, nicotinamide, D-panthenol and selected amino acids as part of its multi-ingredient nutritional formulation.[5]

Dose and administration: Small animals: 15 mL per head, carefully diluted in drinking water. Duration: 5-10 days.[5]
