Function: L-Carnitine L-Tartrate show many beneficial properties, especially in weight loss and the burning of fat. This nutrient is capable of turning fat into energy, and restores depleted muscles after strenuous exercise and bodybuilding. L-Carnitine L-Tartrate is exceptional for muscle recovery after exercise.
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate also benefits heart health, as it has been shown to dramatically increase the heart muscle capabilities. Recent studies have also shown that this nutrient may be beneficial for preventing peripheral neuropathy in women with metastatic breast cancer.
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate helps break down calories and is also effective when used in conjunction with other fat-loss supplements for weight loss. L-Carnitine stimulates fatty acids into the mitochondria. This energy then helps to burn fat. L-Carnitine L-Tartrate also helps guard against fat build up around the heart and liver.
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate has been proven in a number of studies to increase lean muscle mass and decrease BMI and body fat content as part of a weight management program.
