Does L Carnitine Really Burn Fats?

Those who want to lose weight prefer to use L Carnitine to speed up fat burning. Well, does it really work? Did any of them lose weight using L-Carnitine? Arzu Karabulut, who was fitness trained in New York University, offers her opinion on this as an expert.

L Carnitine is a kind of amino acid. It is produced in the liver and kidneys. It is stored in the heart, the brain and in male sperms. In some circles, there are opinions that they burn the excess body fat quickly and turn it into energy. Especially in sports halls, L Carnitine is described as miraculous reinforcement. Even those who are new to fitness begin using L Carnitine and lose weight very quickly. As a matter of fact, this is not exactly the case … (1)

Dietary and sports programs were applied on subjects with the use of L carnitine. At the end of 4 weeks of study, there was no striking difference between those who use L carnitine and those who do not. Yes, both groups lost weight but there was no miracle result as expected from using L carnitine.

The truth is, L carnitine can help you to be more durable and strong during the sport and to train for longer. As a result, you can burn more calories and lose weight with the indirect effect of L carnitine. However, the use of L-carnitine alone without sports and diet does not provide fat burning. In fact, in many experiments, even with the use of L-carnitine in fitness adherence, it turns out that it does not burn fat and turn it into energy.

For effective use of L carnitine in the body, vitamin C is recommended. In fact, L carnitine is found in foods in its natural form. I would like to say that as a person who has received fitness training at New York University: Instead of taking artificial L carnitine before sports, it would be more beneficial to consume a cup of filter coffee and a fruit such as orange or mandarin, which has C vitamins. Moreover, you will protect yourself from possible side effects of L carnitine.

Yes, in many sources about L carnitine it is named “fat burner”. However, this is not supported by scientific studies, it is only promised. Anyone who has a balanced diet program consisting of regular workouts and natural foods can lose weight and fat.

The best natural sources of L-carnitine are:

  • Beef: 81 mg per 85 grams.
  • Fish: 5 mg per 85 grams.
  • Chicken: 3 mg per 85 grams.
  • Milk: 8 mg (227 ml)

There is L carnitine in its natural form in lamb. Instead of allocating a budget to an auction, you can buy lamb meat with the same amount of money and cook and eat the eat it after sport.  At this point, you will also gain the proteins that your muscles need.
