L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine is an essential, non-toxic, natural nutrient that helps burn fat for fuel. Its deficiencies have been linked to a profound impairment of muscle function.
Carnitine helps in burning body fat
Since Carnitine has an essential role in transporting fat into mitochondria, it has been considered as one of the essential component in fat metabolism. As much as 3g per day consumption of L-Carnitine is known to result in significantly higher rates of fat oxidation. Also, when it is combined with a low intensity exercise, it resulted in higher muscle development, as high as 21% improvement after 24 weeks of use.
Carnitine helps in muscle recovery
L-Carnitine acts as an antioxidant that can reduce free-radical formation. Not only it provides protection, Carnitine increases oxygen consumption as well at the cellular level, decreases lactic acid production and therefore improves athletic performance and muscle recovery.
