October 14, 2016 : The Fat Burning Effect of Carnitine
© 安岡喜晴 (JoyShine)
If you want to lose weight, take carnitine.
This chemical is a monopolized carrier to transport your body fat into the mitochondria in your body cells, where body fat is burned into energy,
it is found in high amounts in meat, especially red meat, but not so much in vegetables.
Carnitine is produced in our body on our own, but most carnitine in our body comes from diet, and its synthesis amount in our body decreases with age.
And for those under certain medications, for example, valproic acid, which is mainly used in the psychiatric field, can cause carnitine deficiency.
So if you don't eat much meat and feel tired easily, you should try taking these chemicals.
Side effects are reported around the dose of 3000mg per day, so we can say it's a safe supplement.
