Why Carnitine is Critical

WHY CARNITINE IS CRITICAL

You have probably seen l-carnitine supplements advertised along with promises of increased fat burn and weight loss. Most carnitine products on the market fall short of having an impactful dose, however. L-carnitine is indeed involved in cellular metabolism and can help increase energy production in the mitochondria, the “power plants” of all cells, which can boost physical and mental energy and enhance our use of fat for fuel. Carnitine also aids in maintaining heart health as well as muscle recovery.

Supplement Highlight

Naturally Nourished Boost and Burn: 1-2 tsp in AM or preworkout

If looking to enhance use of fat for fuel or if using keto as treatment in autoimmune disease or other state of compromised mitochondrial function, I highly recommend using Naturally Nourished Boost and Burn liquid! I prefer this combination of d-ribose, l-carnitine and B-5 to exogenous ketone products ALWAYS as this works with your body’s own metabolic process to aid in ketone production and training you to be a true fat burner!
