L-Carnitine for Recovery

L-Carnitine for Weight Loss

Four weeks of carnitine supplementation at 1 gram per day significantly increased weight loss in conjunction with a weight loss diet over the diet alone in a study of 100 obese subjects.

In another study, eight weeks of carnitine supplementation at 4 grams per day did not induce changes in total body mass, fat mass, or fat burning at rest in overweight women.

Also, taking 2 grams of carnitine before and 2 grams during a marathon run did not increase fat burning in young, healthy men.

However, studies in older adults and animal models have demonstrated fat loss benefits.

Performance Benefits of L-Carnitine

Work output increased 11% during a 30 minute "all-out" performance test on a bicycle.

Skeletal muscle metabolites were tested during low-intensity and high-intensity exercise bouts to elucidate how carnitine might be working.

After the low-intensity exercise, muscle glycogen content was 35% greater in the carnitine group, indicating that carnitine may spare glycogen for endurance athletes.

After the high-intensity exercise, carnitine supplementation induced lower muscle lactate, which means that more carbohydrates are being burned more efficiently (aerobically), and suggests that high-intensity athletes may also have more fuel later in the competition.

After two weeks of carnitine supplementation, no differences were found in healthy, active men during a time trial test.

Similarly, three weeks of carnitine consumption did not improve squat and leg press.

Taking carnitine directly before exercise did not improve marathon run time, sprint times, bench press reps to failure or bench press power.
