L-Carnitine plays a vital role in transporting fatty acids into the body’s cells for the production of ATP and energy.

It stands to reason that optimal levels of L-Carnitine in the body are vital to ensure proper utilisation of fat for energy. L-Carnitine is scientifically proven to benefit athletes in 3 key areas; performance, decreased fatigue and improved recovery;

1 - Performance. Scientific studies have shown that L-Carnitine can increase VO2 max, which is the amount of oxygen your body can utilise during exercise. This has been studied in athletes ranging from marathon runners, cyclists and top rowers.

2 - Fatigue. Intense exercise leads to accumulated levels of ammonia in muscle tissue which leads to fatigue. L-Carnitine supplementation has been scientifically proven to reduce amonia levels in athletes.

3 - Recovery. It\\\\\\\'s an established fact that hard, intense exercise places oxidative stress on the body, effects which can literally be felt for days. L-Carnitine supplementation has been shown in scientific studies to effectively improve recovery after strenuous exercise.
