L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps generate energy by transporting fatty acids into your cells, particularly muscle cells.

Benefits of L-Carnitine:

1. Weight loss: L-Carnitine can enhance weight loss by promoting fat burning.

2. Muscle mass: It can prevent muscle damage and improve recovery from high-intensity workouts.

3. Stamina: It can increase oxygen supply to muscles, which helps increase stamina.

4. Heart conditions: Some research suggests that L-Carnitine can reduce symptoms of heart failure and improve exercise capacity in those with heart conditions.

Side Effects of L-Carnitine:

1. Digestive problems: High doses can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, or nausea.

2. Seizures: People with a history of seizures should avoid taking it, as it can increase the frequency of seizures.

3. Body odor: Some people may experience a fishy body odor.

4. Appetite increase: Some people may experience an increase in appetite.

Dosage: The standard dose of L-Carnitine is between 500-2,000 mg per day.

However, the specific dosage depends on the form of L-Carnitine and the individual's specific health goals. For instance, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, a form used for brain health and function, has a lower standard dosage of 630-2,500 mg per day.

It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or a doctor before starting any new supplement regimen, including L-Carnitine, to ensure it's safe and right for your specific health needs.
