Name

L-Carnitine

Action

This amino acid is manufactured within the body. This is THE most important Amino Acid for fat metabolism & energy release i.e. it plays a very important role in maintaining the controlling mechanisms which transports the fat cells into the mitochondria where this fat is then used up for energy. If you have a deficiency in this amino acid, you do not burn up fat efficiently and therefore cannot lose weight easily.

The more Carnitine is available, the more fat is used up for energy and this is also very important for the heart muscles.
