L-carnitine, sometimes known as levocarnitine, is best known for its ability to help your body transform fats into usable energy. It's involved in the energy production process, making sure your cells' engines (mitochondria) burn those fats efficiently.
While your body can create L-carnitine on its own, some may need an extra boost, especially if you follow a vegan diet or face genetic challenges in producing enough. That's where supplements come in! For all of its hormone-related health benefits*, L-carnitine isn't talked about enough. Pair this with its versatility, and you have one of the most underrated vitamins out there.

What is the recommended dosage?
The recommendations for L-Carnitine Tartrate is 1,000 to 4,500 mg per day
When is the best time to take L-Carnitine?
Ideally taken about ½hr before a workout.
Does this contain caffeine?
No, l-Carnitine is free from caffeine and a great non-stimulant alternative for energy.
Mix one level scoop in any liquid you like either 30 minutes before activity or in the morning.
Please Note: It's a 5ml scoop, but with the low density of the powder, 1 level scoop is equal to 3g L-Carnitine.
L-Carnitine also naturally has a bitter taste as well, so we do recommend mixing it with something flavoured, whether it be Balance or something else.
