L-Carnitine is produced by the body from the amino acids L-methionine and L-lysine. L-carnitine supports the absorption of fatty acids in the cytoplasm to the mitochondria where they are burned as energy. Furthermore, L-carnitine is an antioxidant. The body's need for carnitine can be greater than its own production capacity so taking it can make up for shortages. Carnitol Plus contains 1g of L-carnitine per ampule and was supplemented and chromium (contributes to normal blood glucose levels in the blood). In addition, L-arginine and L-ornithine were added to the formula. Carnitol Plus also contains guarana extract, a natural source of caffeine. Carnitol Plus is mainly used during endurance sports, half an hour to 1 hour before the start of the effort.
