Why buy L-Carnitine?
- Essential for energy production and for fat metabolism.
- L-Carnitine is used to transport fat into your body's cells for energy.
- Increased athletic performance.
- Helps delay the onset of fatigue.
- Improves recovery due to enhancement of oxygen supply to the muscle via increased blood flow.
- High Strength.
- Fantastic value for money.
Supplementing with L-Carnitine can help you burn fat more efficiently:
When used in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet and moderate exercise, L-Carnitine supplementation resulted in a much greater loss in body weight in obese people, a decrease in low density lipoprotein (LDL) and blood sugar levels and a reduction in blood pressure. Many more studies have indicated that supplementing with L-Carnitine can reduce body fat, and it's also proven to be very safe with no side effects.
In addition to supporting the cardiovascular system and promoting a healthier weight, L-Carnitine's fundamental role in fat metabolism may result in multiple benefits for athletes and physically active people:
An increasing body of scientific evidence illustrates the favourable effects of L-Carnitine for athletes and physically active people in regard to performance, fatigue and recovery.
Performance
L-Carnitine supplementation increased the peak treadmill running speed in marathon runners and increased VO2max in cyclists and long distance walkers. Positive effects on VO2max are good news because it is one of the most important measures of a person's ability to perform high intensity exercise for longer than 4 to 5 minutes.
Fatigue
Early onset of fatigue during exercise performance is detrimental to both the high performance athlete and the physically active person. Two factors can cause fatigue during exercise: lactic acid accumulation and muscle glycogen depletion. Research indicates that L-Carnitine supplementation decreases lactic acid accumulation and spares glycogen and therefore plays a role in delaying fatigue, as described by various research groups.
Recovery
The most recent clinical study opens new avenues in regard to a role for L-Carnitine apart from its classical muscle energetic function: daily L-Carnitine consumption prior to high intensity exercise significantly reduced muscle pain and decreased muscle damage in untrained subjects. In simple terms, this means that L-Carnitine supplementation can help in the recovery process. The protective effects might be partly due to enhancement of oxygen supply to the muscle via increased blood flow.
