Fitness Endurance:
Because carnitine plays a critical role in fat burning, carnitine is a great aid in promoting sports endurance. Fat is the #1 fuel our body uses in endurance sports, and research shows carnitine enhances aerobic performance, allowing athletes to exercise longer without fatigue. Carnitine also increases the peak running speed in athletes by 6%.7 Chronic Fatigue Carnitine is an effective treatment for the fatigue seen in a number of chronic neurological diseases. Chronic fatigue patients given 3,000 mg of carnitine saw statistically significant clinical improvement in 12 of the 18 studied parameters after 8 weeks of treatment. Increases in energy, well-being, and other parameters occurred more markedly the longer patients took the carnitine.



How to Take Carnitine:
Start by taking two 500 mg capsules of carnitine before or with breakfast. After one week the dose can be increased if more energy or weight loss are desired to two 500 mg capsules before both breakfast and lunch. Carnitine can also be taken in powder form, starting with to a teaspoon before breakfast. Increase your dose of carnitine gradually until you see the results you desire. Taking carnitine after 4:00 p.m. may make it harder to fall asleep at night, so take all carnitine ideally before 4:00 p.m. This is the only side-effect of taking too much carnitine: too much energy! Heart patients and those with serious illness should take carnitine with the supervision from their physician, as carnitine can reduce the need for heart-supporting medications. When will I start feeling the benefits of carnitine? You should begin to feel an increase in energy within the first few days. Weight loss results are usually seen within the first week. For sports endurance, it may take a week or more to see the benefits. Cholesterol and triglyceride lowering effects can take a month or longer. How do I know whether to take carnitine or acetyl-L-carnitine? For weight loss, lowering cholesterol, increasing energy, and sports endurance, carnitine (also called L-Carnitine) is the preferred form. For maximizing brain health, acetyl-L-carnitine is the ideal form. For those over forty, taking both is optimal. When possible, use the form of carnitine known as L-Carnitine-Tartrate, which has the maximum purity and is completely free of the biologically inert D-carnitine.

Should carnitine be taken with other nutrients?
Combining carnitine with CoQ10 is always a good idea, as these nutrients work together in your cells. Taking carnitine along with chromium and zinc can be very helpful for weight loss. Magnesium, taurine, and vitamin E, EPA, as well as CoQ10 all help carnitine benefit the heart more effectively. Remember to treat all health problems with the guidance of a health care practitioner.

What is Carnitine?
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid which plays a vital role in the metabolism of fat. It functions as a transporter of fatty acids into the mitochondria, the metabolic furnace of the cell. L-carnitine was discovered in Russia, and one year later in Germany. The proper name, Carnitine, refers to the Latin origin, (carno, caris). Its structural formula was decoded in 1927, and its physiological significance was understood by the 1960's. (http://www.hlthmall.com/l-carnitine.html) L-carnitine is synthesized in the liver and kidneys, from two essential amino acids, lysine and methionine. This synthesis requires the presence of vitamins niacin, B6, and iron. Most (98%) of the carnitine supply resides in the body's muscle tissue. Approximately 80% of the amino acids our bodies need is endogenously synthesized, the remaining 20% are referred to as the essential amino acids. The supply of such aminos, like l-carnitine, must be supplemented exogenously. L-carnitine is available in the following food sources: red meat, diary products, avocado, and tempeh. Although a well balanced diet can provide approximately 75% of what the body is lacking, often conditions arise that make it difficult to obtain all the carnitine one needs.
