Now L-Carnitine 500mg Vegetarian Capsules For Fitness Support provides you with 500 mg of L-Carnitine, a non-essential amino acid that helps to maintain overall good health. L-carnitine plays an essential role in the transportation of fats to the mitochondria, where they’re converted to energy. This allows you to burn fat during workouts, and at the same time, it will prevent muscle failure, fatigue, and that sluggish feeling many people experience, especially during a dieting phase. With higher levels of L-carnitine, your body becomes more efficient at burning fat. Not only does this decrease the amount of fat that your body stores, but it also helps reduce visceral belly fat, the kind that surrounds your vital organs and potentially leads to fatty liver disease and other serious health conditions. The energy that is produced from the fatty acids can be used by the heart, brain, and muscle, causing a positive effect on all three of these parts in the body. L-Carnitine naturally occurs in red meat and other animal source foods, but the brand recommends supplementation to obtain optimal levels of this excellent amino acid. Besides fat loss, other benefits of L-Carnitine include increased endurance and enhanced muscle recovery. Whatever your fitness goal, these tablets have been formulated to help you even in your toughest workouts, as well as support a balanced diet. NOW L-Carnitine is the purest form, clinically tested, and vegetarian (non-animal sourced).
