L-CARNITINE Fat Loss is a delicious way to jump-start your metabolism and lose weight fast. Simply pour ½ a cap in your water bottle twice a day and enjoy the hydration, taste and results. See amazing results below.
Acetyl-L-carnitine is an antioxidant and amino acid naturally produced in the body and is one of many forms of carnitine. Carnitines help shuttle fat to mitochondria to be burned to produce energy. They also help to shuttle the waste products away during the process. Different carnitines have different functions. Acetyl-L-carnitine is mainly used for brain health purposes as it is able to pass through the blood-brain barrier due to the acetyl group. Acetyl-l-carnitine is used for a wide variety of disorders regarding brain health: Alzheimer’s, depression, age-related memory loss, thinking problems due to Lyme Disease and alcoholism, Down syndrome, nerve pain, etc. It is also used in men for low testosterone and infertility.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine vs L-Carnitine, and Fat Loss:
The body can convert acetyl-L-carnitine to L-carnitine and visa / versa. Do not substitute one for the others. Benefits are based on the kind of carnitine that you take. L-Carnitine is primarily taken for fat loss as it helps to mobilize stored fat and move it to the mitochondria for use as energy. 95% of the carnitine in the body is found in skeletal muscles. By increasing muscle carnitine concentration you increase muscle fat oxidation, thus burning more stored fat rather than glucose. Until recently, studies did not support that increased dietary carnitine would lead to increased muscle carnitine concentration.
A 2011 study in The Journal of Physiology found that after 6 months of L-carnitine feeding combined with carbohydrate consumption led to a 21% increase in muscle carnitine content. This study further showed that this increase had an effect of muscle metabolism during exercise. Following low intensity exercise it was found that less muscle glycogen was used. There was no measure of lipid oxidation, but it follows theoretic models that lipid metabolism would take the place of the glucose metabolism. The study also found an increased level of muscle lactate following high intensity exercise. What was very exciting was the finding of a performance enhancement: work output was increased by 11% during a 30 minute trial. Further studies are needed – complication with how long studies need to be held to see an impact of carnitine supplementation.
How it Helps Brain Function:
Mitochondria are the energy power plants of the body and brain, and their decay has been linked to many age related diseases. Supplementation may help mitochondria produce energy in tissues like the brain. One study fed rats acetyl-L-carnitine – reversed age-related declines in L-carnitine levels and also reversed some age-related changes in liver mitochondrial function. Another study found that the supplementation of acetyl-L-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid led to memory improvement, reduced oxidative stress and improved mitochondrial energy metabolism. It is also used to synthesise acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Acetylcholine has been shown to boost memory.
Antioxidant and anti-Inflammatory agent properties:
A 2010 study on alcohol induced oxidative damage in the brain found that acetyl-L-carnitine served as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Oxidative damage and inflammation in the brain are known to cause injury in the brain.
Tips:
Take acetyl-L-carnitine in the morning to promote healthy brain functioning. Pair with alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant that is known to rid the brain of free radicals.

This stuff works! I lost 10 pounds in 21 days and I’m still losing. I can fit some old jeans that I was going to throw away. It makes me look and feel younger with more energy.

I’m 54 years old and have gained about 30 or 40 pounds since Covid. Despite cutting back on meals and exercising I have not been able to lose weight. After trying L-CARNITINE Fat Loss I started losing weight fast. So far, I’ve lost 15 pounds. Just drink it and let it do the work.

I’ve tried so many products, Hydroxycut, Garciania etc. L-CARNITINE Fat Loss is the first one I’ve seen actually work! I have more energy and I digest food much more quickly. It definitely helps curb my appetite and I’ve noticed a huge decrease in hunger. An added benefit is it makes me feel clear-headed and more focused. I’ve only been using it for 7 days and someone literally asked me if I lost weight today. I absolutely recommend this product and encourage you to try it for yourself.

I love this product because it gives you a serious energy boost while losing weight. The extra energy makes my strength training a lot easier. It tastes pretty good too.

I have been yo-yoing for a long time. I have tried all sorts of pills and fads and nothing has worked long term. I’ve been using L-CARNITINE Fat Loss for a few months and so far it’s working great. You don’t need to do anything extra except drink more water, and you’ll have more energy and lose weight. So far I’ve lost 20 pounds. I am going to start walking a mile a day now that it’s getting warmer. That should help me lose even more weight.
