L-carnitine is an amino acid the body produces naturally in the liver and kidneys, but only in very small amounts. It plays a crucial role in energy production by carrying fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are burned to produce energy.
That beneficial effect makes it a popular supplement among athletes and among anyone looking to lose weight.
What are the benefits of L-carnitine?
- Weight loss: by increasing fat burning, L-carnitine helps reduce body fat.
- Better physical performance: L-carnitine helps increase endurance by delaying the depletion of glycogen stores.
- Faster recovery: L-carnitine helps reduce muscle soreness after exercise by limiting muscle damage and improving repair.
How do you take L-carnitine?
L-carnitine can be taken as capsules, tablets or drinks. For the best results, follow the manufacturer's dosage recommendations and take it before or after training.
