Red8 L-Carnitine Plus Fat metaboliser. L-carnitine can help the body utilise stored fat for fuel, breaking down and helping your body burn away your fat stores. Recent research suggests that L-carnitine works most effectively on low calorie diets. To be utilised as energy, fat must first be broken down into its basic units - fatty acids. These fatty acids must enter the "energy factory" in the human cells - the mitochondria. Fatty acids cannot enter the mitochondria alone, they must first bind to a unit of L-Carnitine. L-carnitine PLUS also contains added Chromium which may help stabilise blood sugar levels reducing the potential for fat storage and helping to stabilise energy levels.
