What is carnitine and when is L-carnitine recommended?

L-carnitine is an endogenous substance that the body can produce itself, but not in sufficient quantities in certain situations. L-carnitine is mainly found in animal foods such as red meat, whereas it is hardly present in plant foods. Studies have shown that an increased muscle carnitine content improves fat burning and favours higher endurance performance. It has also been proven that L-carnitine supplementation after physical exertion leads to lower lactate, cortisol, creatine kinase and ammonia levels, which means less oxidative stress and a vascular protective effect against oxidative damage in the area of the micro blood vessels. Taking L-carnitine as a dietary supplement may also increase fat burning after physical activity, even if L-carnitine is not a fat burner per se, but primarily promotes fat metabolism that has already been activated by physical exercise. Additional supplementation may also be indicated with a low-meat nutrition (vegetarian, vegan).

FAQs on carnitine loading, fat burning and weight reduction

In order to achieve an effective increase in muscle carnitine content in the range of +20%, supplementation over 12 weeks is necessary, which includes 2 x 80 g of carbohydrates and 2 x 2 g of L-carnitine per day. On one hand, this increases fat metabolism during extensive aerobic endurance exercise. On the other hand, lactate accumulation slows down during intensive, anaerobic activities, which ultimately improves overall athletic performance.
Long-term supplementation with L-carnitine is not suitable for everyone due to the long duration of intake and the rather high dose of carbohydrates needed to allow effective absorption. It must be assessed and closely monitored on an individual basis. In many cases, a short-term carnitine intake may be more appropriate and sufficient.
Supplementation in high doses (2000-4000 mg) relatively shortly before sporting activity is recommended, as circulating L-carnitine is said to have a vascular protective effect against oxidative damage in the area of the micro blood vessels. CARNITIN 1000 drinking ampoule or CARNIPURE, a pure L-carnitine tartrate, offer a simple way of taking it. It is best to combine the products with a meal containing carbohydrates.
No, the loading protocols outlined above (long-term and short-term) serve to improve fat metabolism in order to increase endurance performance in sport. It would be completely wrong to use L-carnitine loadings for the purpose of weight reduction or weight loss! This is because the focus of a diet is not on maximising fat burning in the muscle cells, but on generally increasing fat burning in the long term in order to break down fat deposits.
CARNIPURE from SPONSER® is a nutritional supplement in the form of an instant drink powder with L-carnitine from the quality brand CARNIPURE®, which guarantees the highest possible raw material quality without undesirable additives. Ideal for performance-orientated ultra-athletes for the individual enrichment of food and drinks.
