L-Carnitine Tartrate
L-Carnitine is an amino acid needed for fat burning, energy production and muscle recovery. It is synthesized by the body from the essential amino acids lysine and methionine and can also be obtained from red meat. For this reason, L-carnitine deficiency is quite common among vegetarians and even health-conscious people who simply avoid red meat.
L-Carnitine is primarily used as a weight loss aid, to increase energy or to enhance muscular recovery after a workout. It is essential to maintaining a healthy metabolism, which in turn is critical for reducing the risk of many age and lifestyle-associated disorders. Human studies using oral L-carnitine have produced significant positive results in anorexia nervosa, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular problems, high cholesterol, hyperglycemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, thyroid dysfunction and kidney problems, among others.

Ingredient Benefits
Enhances energy levels and exercise performance
L-carnitine is a transporter of long chain fatty acids to carry into the mitochondria, the power plants inside cells, to release energy needed to prolong exercise and for muscle recovery.
Promotes fat burning
L-Carnitine plays a central role in the metabolic breakdown of certain fatty acids to release stored energy. L-carnitine can increase the amount of fat burned during exercise or while at rest.
Supports cardiovascular health
Science is showing that L-carnitine supplementation can balance the way cardiac energy is metabolized, via the fatty acid transport into the mitochondria, offering cardio protection against oxidative stress, inflammation and premature heart cell death
Life extension researchers have been taking particular interest in the potential for carnitine supplementation in supporting mitochondrial function in the cell
