Fellas, don't sleep on L-carnitine
How this amino acid can help you get jacked, lose fat, be more fertile, and improve cognitive function 💊

I got introduced to L-Carnitine in my teenage bodybuilding years
I really started to take notice when I learned it was being used to treat brain fog in people with Lymes disease.
I dealt with brain fog for years (still do), so I had to give it a try

See, L-car does so much more than just burn fat
A few functions:
- fatty acid transport
- flushes out mitochondrial waste
- up-regulates androgen receptors
- increases sperm mobility

L-Carnitine Transports fatty acids into your mitochondria where they're oxidized as fuel.
More fuel = more ATP = more energy output
L-Carnitine = efficient energy
More fuel = more ATP = more energy output
L-Carnitine = efficient energy
Now obviously more fat metabolism = more mitochondrial waste.
Luckily L-car helps expidite removal of those free-radicals produced in the energy production process. Keeping your mitochondria high-functioning & healthy

L-Car's fat mobilization capabilities make you more effective at leveraging fat stores. I like to use it in conjunction with a low-carb diet & cardio when trying to cut down on unwanted bf%
Its damn near a PED
- Increases muscle oxygen supply
- promotes red blood cell production
- decreases oxidative stress post-exercise
Best time to take is pre-workout.

There's 3 main supplemental forms of L-ar
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR): Best for cognition & longevity
Glycine Propionyl L-Carnitine (GPLC): Increases NO production, improves blood pressure
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT): More rapid absorption rate

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT): More rapid absorption rate
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) has best absorption rates & passes blood-brain barrier thanks to its acetyl group
This means its going to help mitochondrial function & energy production in the brain more than in muscles.
Mitochondrial function in the brian is CRUCIAL

Our liver & kidneys can synthesize L-carnitine, but dietary L-car can boost natty concentration for better benefits
If your goal is fat loss use LCLT
if your goal is overall health & cognitive boost, use ALCAR
If your goal is fat loss use LCLT
if your goal is overall health & cognitive boost, use ALCAR
Bioavailability is pretty awful orally.
Injectable L-Car is most efficacious, 400-800mg. Don't recommend unless you're proficient w/ needles
Oral doses are between 500mg-6g

L-Carnitine does have some implications for Thyroid issues and TMAO levels, so its best to cycle (& more importantly to get bloodwork done)
Also take with lots of garlic

L-Carnitine can make your body odor worse. Especially if you're taking in conjunction with Garlic
I just make sure to sweat & sauna a lot when on it. Seems to mitigate some of the stinky side effects. Also clean up your diet

As always, not medical advice. Just sharing my experience with this amino acid
