Unfortunately, the richest natural sources of carnitine are meats such as sheep, lamb and beef—which are also high in calories and saturated fats. Plus they’d have to be eaten in excessive quantities to supply sufficient amounts of Carnitine. One serving of Super L-Carnitine is equal to one and one half pounds of beef without the calories and fat.

Here’s a simple analogy to demonstrate how Super L-Carnitine works. Imagine your blood stream is a river. Your body-fat cells are little people in boats floating down the river to reach their final destination: The Muscle Hotel, (muscle tissue-where fat will be burned as fuel for energy). But, when they arrive, they find the door too heavy to open. Super L-Carnitine is the doorman to the Muscle Hotel. It allows your body-fat to more easily enter (permeate) your muscle tissue to be burned as fuel energy.

The primary function of Carnitine is to facilitate the transport of fatty acids from the cell’s cytoplasm across the mitochondria membrane to the interior of the mitochondria where oxidation occurs (fat-burning process.) Without carnitine as a carrier, the fatty acids are unable to penetrate the membrane of the mitochondria. This will result in a decreased rate of fat utilization and energy. L-Carnitine also helps to remove by-products of fatty acid metabolism and other toxic compounds from within the cells.
