NOW L-Carnitine (1000mg) is a supplement created to help you burn fat and use it as an energy source. The supplements are perfect for dieting and for heart health because the heart (a muscle) requires fat for a majority of its energy needs. The recommended dosage for supplemental carnitine is typically in the 1 to 3g range. The 1000mg L-carnitine supplements available from NOW Foods makes taking the supplement much simpler than buying an expensive bottle of lesser dosages and having to take a handful of capsules as opposed to one.

L-Carnitine is an amino acid (non-essential) beneficial for maintaining your overall health through working to transfer the groups of fatty acids into the mitochondrial membrane, which is necessary for production of cellular energy. L-carnitine is a naturally present in red meat or other animal food sources, however, we recommend the supplement for obtaining optimal levels of this extremely beneficial amino acid.
