L-Carnitine is an amino acid found in high concentrations in heart and liver tissues where, inside the cells (mitochondria), L-Carnitine helps transform fats into energy. L-Carnitine also facilitates the metabolism of carbohydrates and enhances ATP (i.e., energy) production. L-Carnitine works synergistically with Co-Q10, an antioxidant and energy cofactor that is found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
Suggested Use:
Take 1 capsule up to 2 times per day or as directed by your qualified health care consultant.

Q. What is L-Carnitine?
A.Carnitine is a substance that helps the body turn fat into energy. Your body makes it in the liver and kidneys and stores it in the skeletal muscles, heart, brain, and sperm. Carnitine plays a critical role in energy production. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be oxidized (“burned”) to produce energy. It also transports the toxic compounds generated out of this cellular organelle to prevent their accumulation. Given these key functions, carnitine is concentrated in tissues like skeletal and cardiac muscle that utilize fatty acids as a dietary fuel.
Q.Which one is better for weight loss L-Carnitine OR Acetyl L-Carnitine?
A.L carnitine is better for weight loss, but a combination of both is recommended.
Q.Can I take L-Carnitine and Carnitine together?
A.Yes, you may take both the supplement together.
Q.What is Carnitine and where does it come from?
A. Carnitine is classified as an amino acid, although it is not an amino acid in the classic sense. Amino acids are generally used by the body for protein synthesis and/or as a neurotransmitter. Carnitine, which is closely related to B vitamins, is primarily used to facilitate the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells for energy production. This process provides muscular energy by burning fat, and also prevents fatty build-up around vital organs. Muscle cells that use the most energy, particularly the heart, can benefit by having adequate carnitine levels. Natural Carnitine is found primarily in red meat, so vegetarians may need to supplement to ensure healthy levels in their bodies.
