L-Carnitine Carnitine is an essential amino acid and plays an important role in weight loss, cholesterol control, cardio-vascular health, and general immune enhancement. A recent study showed the powerful advantage of combining Carnitine with a weight loss program. For those eating a healthy diet and getting moderate exercise for 12 weeks, the average weight loss was one pound. For those who added two grams of Carnitine per day to the same regime, weight loss averaged 11 pounds. Carnitine moves fat to the "fat incinerators" in our cells call mitochondria. You can not burn fat no matter what unless fat makes it into the mitochondria. Once fat is inside the mitochondria, fat is transformed into energy. Thus, Carnitine encourages weight loss and increases energy levels. Carnitine is an important nutrient for the heart. The heart gets two-thirds of its energy from burning fat and Carnitine helps fuel the cardiac engine. People with congestive heart failure need extra Carnitine. Carnitine raises HDL cholesterol (Good Cholesterol), the protective cholesterol fraction, which helps to keep arteries clear. It also lowers triglycerides. Carnitine is best taken in the morning on an empty stomach. To be effective, one should take at least 500 mg. 500 mg to 2000 mg per day will meet most peoples needs. Carnitine is not a stimulant but gives natural energy by enhancing the body's own energy producing processes. |
