For athletes, L-carnitine helps optimize performance. L-carnitine also allows fat to burn more easily. It works by carrying fat to the mitochondria where energy is produced. Without L-carnitine, normal fat burning cannot take place.*

Effective doses of L-carnitine range from about 1 gram (1,000 mg) per day (equal to 1 Tbsp.) up to 4 grams per day for people with who exercise heavily.*

Acetyl-L-carnitine performs much the same way as regular L-carnitine with one important difference. It crosses the blood-brain barrier easier, providing brain and cognitive support.*
