Lose Those Last 10 Pounds with L-Carnitine

How many times have you said to yourself "I just can't lose
those last 10 pounds"?

If losing those last 10 pounds is your passion, then you
will appreciate the benefits of L-Carnitine supplementation!

It's no doubt that weight loss and supplements are
controversial issues in the fitness industry. The basis for
true weight loss is proper eating and regular exercise.
Supplements are beneficial for an added kick to super
charge your weight-loss program. While supplements do serve
their place in a fitness program, don't rely on them as the
bulk of your regimen, they are a tool.

Of the many fat-loss supplements bombarding the fitness and
weight-loss industry, L-Carnitine is one that I always
found useful when trying to drop extra pounds. It can help
mobilize fat so it can be burned more efficiently when your
rotate your calories on the lower end.

L-Carnitine is an amino acid and may aid in fat-loss
endeavors. Its main function is to transfer long-chain
fatty acids into the mitochondria where they can be used to
produce energy and burn fat. L-Carnitine can also aid in
preventing fatty build up in the liver and heart.

Other benefits of the wonderful supplement are reducing
triglyceride levels and improving muscular strength.
L-Carnitine can also help lessen the nervousness and
irritability associated with low carbohydrate eating plans.
Additional advantages are suppressed appetite, increased
energy, and reduced muscle fatigue. L-Carnitine can also
protect against liver disorders, cardiovascular diseases,
and diabetes.

Your body can make L-Carnitine if you receive proper
amounts of the amino acids lysine and methionine. You also
need suitable amounts of vitamin B and C, as well as iron.
This can also be received through nutrition, from such
foods as animal protein.

Those who exercise a great deal use a lot of L-Carnitine.
Therefore, it needs to be replenished to prevent a
deficiency. If you are not receiving enough of these
vitamins, minerals, amino's through your diet you could
possibly have an L-Carnitine deficiency, making those last
few pounds stubborn to remove.

A lack of L-Carnitine can result in muscular weakness and
low energy levels, as well as weight gain, and cramps.
Long-term deficiencies can lead to diabetes, cardiovascular
disease, obesity, and Alzheimer's.

Vegetarians are more likely to have an inadequate amount of
L-Carnitine due to the lack of animal protein in their
nutrition. Therefore, L-Carnitine is an excellent
supplement for vegetarians.

Recommended Dosage

Liquid L-Carnitine is an easy way to receive the
recommended dosage of L-Carnitine quickly. Supplement with
3 to 5 grams of L-Carnitine 20 to 30 minutes before cardio.
Use L-Carnitine consistently for 6 weeks and then take 4
weeks off of L-Carnitine.

This product is absolutely safe. However, if you have a
weak stomach, take it with a meal.

Since L-Carnitine helps to release fat more efficiently
during cardio, provided your carbohydrates are not in
excess, it is important that you eat foods of quality and
exercise consistently. These factors are what make the fat
burning process possible. L-Carnitine is the spark plug to
get the fire burning!
