L-Carnitine L-Tartrate

What is L-Carnitine L-Tartrate?

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT) is a compound composed of
L-Carnitine (an amino acid derivative) bound to tartaric acid. It's a popular
form of carnitine often used in dietary supplements. L-Carnitine itself is
naturally produced in the body and plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by
facilitating the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are
burned for energy. LCLT is commonly taken as a supplement to support fat loss,
exercise performance, muscle recovery, and potentially other health benefits.

Our Formulation

The Unived L-Carnitine L-Tartrate supplement contains 1000mg
pure L-Carnitine L-Tartrate per serving, along with 100mg Chromium Picolinate.

Major benefits:

Enhanced Fat Metabolism: LCLT facilitates the transport of
fatty acids into mitochondria, where they are oxidized for energy production.
This can potentially aid in fat loss and weight management.[1]

Improved Exercise Performance: LCLT supplementation may
reduce muscle damage and fatigue during exercise, leading to enhanced
endurance, strength, and overall performance.[2]

Faster Muscle Recovery: LCLT has been shown to decrease
markers of muscle damage and soreness after intense exercise, promoting quicker
recovery times and potentially allowing for more frequent or intense training
sessions.[3]

Potential Testosterone Support: Some research suggests that
LCLT supplementation may help maintain or increase testosterone levels, which
is important for muscle growth, libido, and overall well-being.[4]

Cognitive Benefits: LCLT may have positive effects on brain
function and mental clarity due to its role in energy metabolism within the
brain, potentially improving cognitive performance.[5]

Heart Health Support: While more research is needed, LCLT
may offer benefits for heart health, such as reducing inflammation and
improving lipid profiles, contributing to overall cardiovascular well-being.[6]
