Want to burn more fat? L-Carnitine is just what you need!

Many people who shop at our stores have a goal of decreasing body fat. We all would like to increase the amount of lean muscle mass while also feeling as lean and energetic as possible at the same time. But very few people who are seeking to burn fat are familiar with an important amino acid called L-Carnitine. If losing fat is your goal you will want to know more about this important amino acid and the role it plays in helping you burn off those unwanted pounds!

First off, L-Carnitine is essential for all fat metabolism to take place in the cells. What does that mean for you? It means you can’t burn fat without the aid of L-Carnitine! Think of it like the front door of your home. If that door is locked and you don’t have the key, you’re unable to get inside. L-Carnitine is the key that unlocks that door to enable you to enter. During exercise and through clean eating, your body will break down fat. However, it cannot get into the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell where all energy is produced) without L-Carnitine. Your body naturally produces L-Carnitine, and it is present in certain foods, but there is a chance your body isn’t producing enough or your diet isn’t providing the amounts you need that would enable you to burn fat.

L-Carnitine is widely distributed in most tissues of the body, but is highly concentrated in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues (97%). While fats and carbohydrates are both the primary fuels utilized by the body to meet its energy demands during exercise, L-Carnitine also enhances performance as well as delays the onset of muscle fatigue and improves your recovery time. Other applications of the effectiveness of L-Carnitine include promoting cardiovascular health, brain wellness, healthy-aging and male fertility.
