Carnitine

L-Carnitine is a nutritional support useful for supporting energy levels and lipolysis, or slimming. Taken in the form of a food supplement in capsules, powder or tablets, carnitine can support physical activities such as bodybuilding both in terms of performance and from a purely aesthetic point of view. Together with other non-stimulating lipolytic compounds such as CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), Omega-3 and others, this nutrient facilitates the oxidation of fatty acids favoring a better body composition.

What are carnitine supplements used for?

As previously mentioned, the exogenous intake of carnitine can be useful both for maintaining the state of well-being and health and in terms of performance.

The biological role of carnitine is that of act as a carrier of adipose molecules in order to support the energy synthesis ATP, the primary source of energy fuel used by the body in all physical commitments; from normal walking to more demanding physical efforts such as power (bodybuilding and powerlifting) and endurance (cycling, triathlon, cross-country skiing, etc.)

This amino acid derivative, used for years as a concentrated food supplement, performs the following biological role:

  • fit facilitates the entry of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondrial power plants, the mitochondria, that is small organelles that act as real powerhouses of lipid combustion and consequent energy production. Carnitine optimizes their function by facilitating the oxidation of the aforementioned fats, for energy purposes. The result? higher energy levels and easier elimination of fat reserves on the hips, abdomen, thighs, buttocks but not only.
  • constant maintenance of the intracellular ratio of AcetylCoA / CoA, optimizing the conversion of pyruvate and lactate into AcetylCoA and simultaneously carrying out an indirect antioxidant action on specific cells of the heart and muscle tissue. This has a positive effect on the cells with high energy metabolism and, consequently, on the contractile capacity of the heart and more generally of all the muscles.

As for another very important area for our health, that of cardiology, supplementation with l-carnitine tartrate would seem to be useful in terms of:

  • cardiovascular and protective vessel function;
  • better lipidemic picture, ensuring a decrease in blood concentrations of triglycerides and an increase in those of HDL cholesterol;

Finally, the intake of concentrated sources of carnitine would also be effective in individuals suffering from primary and secondary carnitine deficiency, as well as in patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.

How to take l-carnitine tartrate?

For those who want to improve their physical appearance by promoting greater calorie expenditure and better muscle definition, it is recommended to take 1 gram of carnitine before physical activity, possibly on an empty stomach. In fact, remember that this amino acid-like can act as an indirect lipolytic only in conditions of caloric constraint and negative energy balance. On the other hand, it is different if from this supplement you want to obtain only that "surplus" of energy that can help us finish the training session with maximum intensity.

In the health field, on the other hand, it is always necessary to get the preventive opinion of your doctor because, depending on the individual clinical picture, dosages and methods of use can change.

Carnitine supplements and side effects

At the doses indicated above recommended by the Ministry of Health, the intake of l-carnitine tartrate is to be considered safe and free of potential serious side effects. However, in cases of overdose, adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps may occur. It is also advisable to refrain from consuming this nutrient in cases of suspected or ascertained hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.
