L-carnitine And Weight Loss
Print This Article Ezine Publisher Send To Friends Add To Favorites Post A Comment Suggest Topic Report Author

Today the market is overflowed with huge assortment of food supplements for gaining muscle mass, reducing fats, increasing the libido, increasing naturally the levels of some hormones like testosterone, growth hormone and others. The big question is: which deserve the price. You don't need to buy a huge store, to meet your needs. Different needs - different solutions, but when we talk about reducing fats, L-carnitine is good choice. Something more - L-carnitine stabilizes the condition of the immune system.

L-carnitine is a nutritional supplement. It is appropriate for people practicing different sports but also for humans with a primary or secondary carnitine deficiency in the organism.

L-carnitine is a natural chemical compound which is responsible for different needs of the organism like the transport of long-chain fatty acids through the mitochondrial membrane of the cell. It supplies fatty acids for the beta-oxidation and so it provides energy production into the mitochondrial matrix of the cells, especially into the skeletal muscle and myocardial cells. It its known that carnitine increases physical endurance of the organism.

L-carnitine is synthesized from lysine and methionine in the liver and kidneys. The human body naturally contains about 20-25 g l-carnitine and it is interesting that 98 % of this amount is stored into skeletal muscle and into the heart muscle. With food, we receive 10-100 mg carnitine daily, which in turn is reabsorbed in the gastrointestinal tract by using specific transport machinery. But you should remember that the needs of the human body are greater. When we talk about increased physical activity, for example, the needs can exceed the daily supply. Of course that can be compensated by using the L-CARNITINE as a food supplement.

Some genetic, liver and kidney diseases, consuming of fat-rich food or poor in lysine and methionine diets can cause a carnitine deficiency. This condition is characterized with a muscle fatigue, chest and muscle pain, weakness, hypotonia, and confusion. In cases of proven L-carnitine deficit, taking it like supplement is recommended.

It is recommended the usage of L-CARNITINE to be as follows:

In all cases of heavy physical workloads - 1 capsule L-CARNITINE, 2-3 times per day.

For increasing the fat metabolism - 2 capsules L-CARNITINE, 2 times a day.

In cases of: carnitine deficiency due to an alcohol abuse, chronic fatigue syndrome, cardiovascular diseases etc., please asks your doctor for the appropriate dose.

L-carnitine is not expensive supplement, at all. So if you look for healthy way to improve your condition, L-carnitine is the answer. But remember, supplements are not substitute of the good high-nutritious foods. Even L-carnitine is healthy, you should not overdose it. Buy only from famous brands if you could, because they are tested in the time!
