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. It has been suggested that an adequate supply of L-carnitine helps promote good health and energy levels.* L-carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane to be metabolized. In this way, L-carnitine may help support the release of stored body fat, called triglycerides, into the bloodstream for energy.*1,2
Raspberry Ketones (Razberi-k) is a ketone unique to the raspberry. Raspberries contain many bioactive constituents beneficial for supporting health. One particular constituent, 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one may have the potential to promote healthy body composition by increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis. Research suggests that enhancing lipolysis may augment glycerol release, increasing the translocation of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) in fat cells, and increasing brown adipose tissue, known to support thermogenesis and oxidation of body fat.*3,4
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why did we combine these two supplements together?
A. We believe that l-Carnitine and Raspberry Ketones may work synergistically from a weight management perspective. These two ingredients may help promote lipolysis - converting stored fat to fatty acids and fat oxidation - burning of those fatty acids.*
Q. How often should I take L-Carnitine Plus?
A. We recommend that you take L-Carnitine Plus everyday but do not exceed 4 capsules per day.
Q. Can I take L-Carnitine Plus prior to working out?
A. You can take L-Carnitine Plus throughout the day and before workouts if you wish.
Q. Can I stack L-Carnitine Plus?
A. Yes, you can stack L-Carnitine Plus with any supplement. It works very well with fat burners.
