Acetyl L-Carnitine

Its a fat burn superhero, a brain booster, and a fatigue saver, all in one! Acetyl-L-Carnitine has quickly become one of our 'bread and butter' supplements, as well as an important ingredient of many modern products (especially pre-workouts and fat burners, read below and you'll know why). With the ATP Science Acetyl-L-Carnitine however, we love that we can scoop to our heart's desire and get the product at its simplest and purest form.

- Stimulates and facilitates increased fat burn - Powerful function as a nootropic to reduce mental fatigue and increase alertness - Shown to reduce muscular fatigue - 100% natural, GMO-free and highest quality possible

L-Carnitine is another amino acid, one of our body's building blocks, which plays a huge role in our body's natural functions. This is a non-essential amino acid, meaning our body can actually synthesise it independently, but our body only really produces enough for regular function. L-Carnitine has has a significant amount of attention and research over the last several years, which have gone to show that with additional supplementation of L-Carnitine, you are able to better target fat as your body's source of fuel, slightly reduce your fatigue levels, and see a significant impact on cognitive performance.

One of the most recognised and sought after benefits of L-Carnitine is its role in the fat burning process. Put simply, L-Carnitine pushes fat into the mitochondria  - essentially, so it can be converted to ATP and used by muscles for energy. Therefore, while your body can readily use and breakdown glucose (from carbohydrates) as a source of energy, for your body to utilise fat as a source of energy, L-Carnitine is a key player. Think of L-Carnitine as the delivery truck - taking fat to the fat burning furnace. Without a sufficient supply or abundance of L-Carnitine, your body is more likely to show a preference for glucose as a source of fuel. Therefore, when aiming to burn fat and get leaner, and hoping instead tell your body to burn excess fat reserves, L-Carnitine is your new best friend.

L-Carnitine also has antioxidant properties - and effectively helps to remove cellular waste from energy production, in the form of free radicals, away from the mitochondria. This cellular waste is the cause of the fatigued performance and feeling within your muscles. Therefore, L-Carnitine plays a role and has an effect in reducing fatigue to increase physical performance.

We've talked a bit here about just L-Carnitine. The ATP Science product here is actually Acetyl-L-Carnitine - the difference being, the added acetyl group. The benefit of acetyl-l-carnitine, as opposed to the more traditional supplement of l-carnitine, is its ability to work much more efficiently in the brain, meaning its impact is not limited purely to within the muscles. It works as a nootropic - to enhance cognitive performance. This is very scientifically ctifically proven, and is backed by numerous studies and cases to show its effects in reducing mental fatigue and neurological decline, whilst increasing alertness.
