t’s rare to find a supplement that can provide
health benefits to almost every person.
However, Max LiquiCarn (made of active
L-carnitine) is one of those supplements.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of
the wide variety of health benefits L-carnitine
provides. Mention L-carnitine and most people
think about fat burning, and for good reason:
L-carnitine is essential for fat burning. But, it
offers many other health benefits as well.

Basics of L-Carnitine
L-carnitine plays a major role in energy
metabolism. It is the essential nutrient for
the transport of long-chain fatty acids to
the mitochondria to be used as energy. It
is synthesized in the body from the amino
acids lysine and methionine. L-carnitine
is classified as a “conditionally essential”
amino acid, meaning that in some cases
we may not synthesize enough of the
nutrient. The heart, skeletal muscles and
many other tissues depend mainly on
fatty acid oxidation as an energy source.
Since they cannot synthesize L-carnitine,
proper transport to these tissues is critical.
In addition to the transport of fatty acids to
the mitochondria, L-carnitine is also important
for waste removal from the mitochondria making it
important for detoxification.

Most Common Uses of L-Carnitine:

Increased Energy and Fat Burning
Simply stated, L-carnitine is a nutrient that helps the body
turn fat into energy. L-carnitine is absolutely essential
for all fat metabolism to take place in the cells of the
body. Some studies show that oral supplementation of
L-carnitine may reduce fat mass, increase muscle mass
and increase energy levels. Studies also show that high
doses of L-carnitine may be tied to increased lipolysis
in adipose tissue (meaning increased burning of stored
fat).
