Carnitine
The fat-burning amino acid!
Biologically, this essential amino acid serves as a fat shuttle that moves long chain fatty acids into the "furnace" of the cell, the mitochondrion. This means that when you take a supplement of L-Carnitine, that you will be able to burn fat quicker. Fat provides a valuable source of energy for muscles, including the hardest working muscle in the body, the heart.
When it comes time for the body to burn off stored body fat, the L-Carnitine speeds up the process by optimizing the transfer of the stored fat to energy sites in the muscles.
Supplemental - either in capsule, liquid, or powder form - L-Carnitine ensures that you are receiving optimum levels of this amino acid for the best fat-burning effect in the body. The typical dosage for L-Carnitine is 500-200mg per day, usually taken on an empty stomach or just before exercise.
While L-Carnitine does work best when combined with exercise, it does also provide significant fat-burning effects for those who are modifying their diets. It is possible to ingest L-Carnitine from foods in the diet, especially meat. However, the drawback with meat is that while it does contain high levels of Carnitine, it also contains bad fats that promote heart disease and weight gain.
This is the reason why most practitioners who recommend L-Carnitine recommend that their clients use a supplemental form instead of attempting to ingest enough merely from food.
Other Health Benefits
Carnitine prevents fatty build up in the vessels, liver and muscles. It decreases cholesterol levels, supports weight loss, increases sperm motility and improves muscle strength. It is an anti-aging nutrient because it makes the antioxidants vitamins C and E work more effectively. L-carnitine is sometimes added to infant formulas to enhance energy production and stimulate growth. L-carnitine is recommended by natural health practitioners for heart disease, heart failure, high cholesterol, improved athletic performance, weight loss and male infertility.
ALC: Acetly-L-Carnitine - Anti-aging and Brain Health
Acetyl-L-carnitine is a derivative of carnitine that is produced by the body. It is used for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, in addition to its role in fat transportation. Acetyl-L-carnitine is well studied for its anti-aging effects. Daily supplementation slows the progression of Alzheimer's disease by improving memory, attention, language and spatial abilities. Other health benefits of acetyl-L-carnitine are improved immune functioning, protection of the nerves and improved circulation.
How to Take Carnitine and ALC
The biologically active form of carnitine is L-carnitine or acetyl-L-carnitine. It is commonly found as a powder or in capsules. It may be found in formulas for heart health. It is used with coenzyme Q10 for supporting the heart. Because of their greater muscle mass, men require more carnitine than women. Vegetarians also tend to lack carnitine because food sources are animal based. Take amino acid supplements at least 1/2 hour before or after a meal to maximize their absorption. If you take an individual amino acid supplement for longer than one month, take it with an amino acid complex to prevent the deficiency of other amino acids.
Weight Loss
This article will explain general healthy eating habits and nutritional supplements that can enhance weight loss. See a health professional to ensure that there are no medical conditions that are causing you to gain weight. Then detoxify the body to make sure it is working to capacity. See the article entitled "detoxification" for more information. Have a positive mental outlook and deal with stress effectively. Start moderate exercise that is maintainable in your daily routine. Remember healthy weight loss is no more than 2-4 lbs weekly.
Water is a very important nutrient because it flushes waste products from the body and prevents dehydration. Drink 2L of filtered water or herbal teas daily. A large part of your food intake should be whole grains and vegetables because they are rich in nutrients, and enzymes, and help to stabilize the blood sugar. Increase your consumption of tofu, legumes, nuts and seeds. Vegetable protein is lower in saturated fat than animal protein. Nuts and seeds are good protein source and contain essential fatty acids. These fats actually increase the metabolism of stored fats. Use unrefined, cold-pressed nut and seed oils made from flax seed, walnut, hemp seed and pumpkin seed. Water-soluble fibre, like pectin, psyllium and inulin, are found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Fibre is an appetite suppressant and binds bile to prevent the reabsorption of fats in the intestine.
Healthy eating involves avoiding lots of food that is easily available in our society. Limit your intake of white flour products, processed foods, junk foods, candies, fried foods, hydrogenated fats, simple sugars and alcohol.
