July 7, 2016Carnitine supports the transfer of fat to energy
The amount of fat in our bodies increases as we age. It is therefore important to do sport to keep fit. Carnitine can also help with weight control as it improves the transport of fatty acids as fuel to be burned off. This is why it is often referred to as a “fatburner”. When combined with movement, carnitine can contribute to an increased rate of fat burning. This is why it is an important aspect of fitness and wellness programs.*
