8 best L-carnitine
Burning fat and energizing
Author: Oleg Yasinsky
The modern sports nutrition market is represented by a large group of drugs called “fat burners”. There are many types, but one of the most sought-after is L-carnitine (aka left carnitine). Review of the pros and cons of the best (in the opinion of athletes) L-carnitines - in our ranking.
What is left carnitine for?
L-carnitine is a natural substance that the human body partially produces itself with a sufficient amount of protein foods (meat, poultry, eggs, etc.).
Fundamentally, carnitine is not exactly a fat burner. Rather, it is a dietary supplement that helps speed up metabolism, increase endurance and has a positive effect on the work of the cardiovascular system. Accordingly, the intensity of the training increases, and getting energy through fat accumulation becomes even a slightly side, but no less desirable effect.
An important clarification - the sense of carnitine will not be without the essential components: physical exertion (especially cardio) and balanced nutrition. Hence the different opinions about the drug. Discontent is usually expressed by those who hoped for a “magic pill” that helps to lose weight while sitting on the couch. But people for whom the notorious healthy lifestyle is not an empty sound, consider L-carnitine to be an excellent help to achieve a good physical form.
L-carnitine release forms
Liquid
In this form, carnitine is absorbed faster by the body, and, therefore, it begins to act more quickly. The disadvantage is the presence of preservatives and sweeteners.
Powder
In the Russian market, this type of L-carnitine is most often found in two versions: pharmacy (in the form of sachets or sachets for dissolving in water) and sports (many brands simply pack carnitine in their containers). The disadvantage is that the powder needs to be diluted with something, however, and the convenience is that it can be added to the finished drink.
Tablets or capsules
This option is absorbed longer than the liquid form, but it contains a minimum of foreign substances. When buying, you should pay attention to the composition and concentration of pure carnitine.

Decent product with a good price-quality ratio. The single portion is small and therefore the packaging lasts a long time. I use this L-carnitine before workouts for about half a year. The result pleased. |

SAN, in my opinion, makes excellent sports nutrition and, in particular, the best L-carnitine. I constantly use it in the period of "drying" in combination with thermogenics to reduce the fat layer with the preservation of dry muscle mass. |

PureProtein L-Carnitine
550 (100g)
L-carnitine in powder form from the Russian brand PureProtein in the amount of 100 grams per package. In general, this is a fairly pure form of the drug, which is not so much produced as packaged by a domestic company with the addition of various flavors. In fact, the powder is an intermediate option between tablets and a liquid form. After all, it eventually dissolves in water or some kind of drink. If the second option is preferable, it is better to choose a neutral taste. Of course, the powder is absorbed by the body more slowly than liquid concentrates, but it does not contain various kinds of preservatives to extend the shelf life. The main advantage of PureProtein powder is a good concentration, reasonable price and sufficient stock in the package. A single serving for dissolving in a liquid is 5 g (one scoop). It is recommended to take the drug about 1-1.5 hours before the start of the workout. Main advantages:
