Simply put, L-Carnitine is a special amino acid unlike other amino acids that are used for protein synthesis and neurotransmitters. L-Carnitine increases the use of fat as an energy source, helping to prevent fatty build-up in the heart, liver and skeletal muscles. During weight-loss programs, when calorie intake is restricted, the body pulls stored fat from fat deposits to supply energy. That is the purpose of the diet; however, the body generally does not produce enough L-Carnitine to transport this additional fat to be broken down. Using L-Carnitine, you can help metabolize extra fat and prevent it from being deposited around critical organs. L-Carnitine deficiency can also cause: - Weakness and fatigue
- Accelerated glycolysis, which causes hypoglycemia
- Improves clarity and firmness.
- Elevated triglycerides in the bloodstream, heart and liver
- Cardiac irregularity
Basically, this special amino acid, which the body often under-produces, is essential for healthy hearts and cardiovascular systems. Without sufficient supplies of L-Carnitine, you risk developing organs that are surrounded and suffocated by fat. So, you're not only gaining weight by depositing fat where it shouldn't go, you're unknowingly risking your health. Also, because of its important role in energy production, L-Carnitine can help relieve not only the fatigue associated with dieting, but may also boost energy for those suffering from chronic fatigue. Finally, research has shown the L-Carnitine amino acid to be helpful with the lowering of triglyceride levels as well as the increase of HDL (the good) cholesterol. L-Carnitine can help you: - Lose weight and keep it off
- Increase your energy levels
- Oxidize fat from around organs
- Protect your heart and cardiovascular system
