NutraKey L-Carnitine 1500
Optimize your body’s ability to convert fat into fuel with NutraKey L-Carnitine 1500. L-Carnitine is closely related to B vitamins and is naturally found alongside healthy fats in avocados, dairy products, and red meat. Its role in the mobilization of fat stores into energy that can be used by the body makes it an essential supplement for anyone dieting or trying to lose weight while preserving lean muscle. NutraKey L-Carnitine has been specially developed for maximum absorption and bioavailability so that you get more out of every bottle.
How does L-Carnitine work?
Primarily found in our muscle and brain tissues, L-Carnitine is essential in the process of transporting long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria of our cells. Mitochondria (the energy creators of our bodies) are then able to oxidize this fat into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), or the essential fuel that our bodies need to contract muscles and do just about anything else. Without L-Carnitine, it is difficult for fats to be burned as fuel, so our body resorts to other sources of energy like muscle protein and sugar (glycogen). The result is diminished muscle strength, slow growth, and most notably, stubborn fat reserves that may be difficult to remove.
By assisting your body in the transformation of long chain fatty acids into energy, L-Carnitine is used both as a dieting tool and a pre-workout supplement. Since L-Carnitine promotes fat as the primary source of energy, often greater amounts of glycogen are available in your muscles- allowing you to workout harder while ensuring that greater amounts of energy come from fat instead of muscle.
L-Carnitine also assists the body by preventing lactic acid from accumulating in your muscles, which means you’ll be able to work out longer and recover more quickly.
Directions for use:
As a dietary supplement, consume one tablespoon of L-Carnitine with water or your favourite beverage 2-3 times daily on an empty stomach or as directed by a physician or licensed nutritionist. Take the first dose in the morning or before cardio, second dose before lunch or workouts, and the final dose post-workout.
Can I stack L-Carnitine with my fat burner?
Absolutely! L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that works to help transport fat, particularly long-chain fatty acids, into the mitochondria of cells. Once there, they can be oxidized (used as fuel). It is stimulant-free and is a complimentary supplement to use with your favourite fat Burner such as Nutrakey MCT Oil or Nutrakey TRU Burn that can help you reach your goals faster as well as increase training performance!
