What is the deal with L-Carnatine?

Supplement Geek Spotlight Good morning BOSS Fam! Today let's shed some light on a product most people don't know much about...L-Carnitine.What is it?-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid found in animal based protein and produced in minute amounts in the body.-It plays a crucial role in the production of energy by transporting fatty acids into your cells' mitochondria.Different types:-Acetyl-L-Carnitine (used for focus and brain function)-Propionyl-L-carnitine (used for circulatory issues)- L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (used for soreness and recovery)- L-Carnitine (standard active form of carnitine, which is found in your body, foods and most supplements)Weight loss:-Although the cellular mechanism of L-carnitine suggests it could benefit weight loss, its effects if present at all are small. -most studies seem to say that the leaner you are, the less effective supplementation will be.Effects on Brain Function:-L-carnitine specifically acetyl-L-carnitine can have beneficial effects on brain function in various diseases.-some studies show it can help against cell damage along with aid with various brain diseasesDosages:-Although the recommended dose varies, around 5002,000 mg seems to be the average range. You can work your way up to a higher dose but I advise to do it slowly since carnitine may have a flushing effect on your bowels if increased too quickly.Specific populations may benefit from L-carnitine supplements. This includes older adults and people who rarely or never eat meat and fish.Carnitine is a supplement that doesn't have many studies to reference and are not conclusive enough to say that this product is really worth incorporating into your regime. Keep in mind, everyone is different and will effect them differently.Cheers!
