L-Carnitine is a nutrient that supports the transport of fat into the mitochondria, where it can be burned and converted into energy. Several studies have shown that L-carnitine supplementation improves the bodys efficiency to burn fat, even if the subjects are not overtly deficient in carnitine.2 One study investigated the effect of four weeks of supplementation with 1g L-carni-tine three times per day on 100 overweight patients following a diet of 1200 Kcal/-day. The carnitine group lost an average of 9.7lb vs 7.8lb in the placebo group. Thus,L-carnitine supplementation supported the weight loss process with an additional 2.1lb in one month. The authors concluded that the study supports the assumptionformulated on the basis of other studies that carnitine supplementation leads to increased desirable weight loss, over and above diet and exercise.3 Authors have also emphasized that L-car- nitines metabolic advantage will be especially realized when administered along with a regimen that ensures a caloric deficit through adequate diet plus exercise. Special attention should be given to the amount of carbohydrate ingested. Another study showed that supplementation with L-carnitine increased loss of fat in the urine, in addition to increasing fat burning for energy.7 This shows two different venues in which L-carni- tine provides a metabolic advantage. Carnitine supports the preservation of lean body mass, especially during anaerobic exercise and fat loss. It is especially important to preserve lean body mass during fat loss in order to prevent a reduction in metabol- ic rate. Carnitine supplementation was shown in several studies to support an actual increase in lean body mass, in addition to reducing the amount of exercise-induced muscle tissue damage.11 This benefit applies to both resistance and endurance type exercises. This means that carnitine supplementation prior to a workout results in less muscle soreness
