L-Carnitine is the amino acid responsible for the transport accumulated fatty acids within the fat deposits to the mitochondria where the oxidation is carried out to obtain energy.
There are two types of carnitine; L-Carnitine and D-Carnitine but only the first is biologically effective!.
The body can make L-Carnitine as well as obtain it from animal-based foods, but the quantities obtained by these two means are insufficient for the mobilisation of fats hence the need for supplementation.
To get the best results it is advisable to combine taking L-Carnitine 1500 with some aerobic exercise since an increase in energy demand by the body helps the mobilisation of fats to obtain energy.
