Bio Energy Acetyl L-Carnitine
Additionally, research suggests that carnitine may improve cardio performance thanks to its ability to stimulate fat-burning
L-carnitine supplements are taken by mouth to increase L-carnitine levels in people whose natural level of L-carnitine is too low because they have a genetic disorder, are taking certain drugs (such as valproic acid for seizures or certain antibiotics for tuberculosis), or because they are undergoing a medical procedure (hemodialysis for kidney disease) that uses up the body's L-carnitine
