Your advantage in training
-
Muscle soreness after strength training: In a meta-analysis of 7 studies, muscle soreness was on average lower with L-carnitine than with placebo, at all five measurement time points (immediately afterwards and after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours), especially in untrained people and after strength training.
-
Muscle strain in the blood: Blood markers of muscle strain (creatine kinase, myoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase) were also lower than with placebo in this meta-analysis 24 hours after exertion; after that there was no difference. An overview of 53 meta-analyses (umbrella review) lists L-carnitine among the nutrients for which muscle soreness and creatine kinase were on average lower after exertion (moderate certainty of evidence).
-
2000 mg per serving: A 10 ml serving contains 2000 mg of L-carnitine; the pack makes 50 servings. Drink it 30 minutes before training, not on an empty stomach.
-
B vitamins with an authorised claim: Each serving contains 4 mg of vitamin B6 (286% NRV) and three further B vitamins: vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
What the research says: In the meta-analysis, the effect was only seen in the strength training groups and in untrained people; it has not been demonstrated for trained athletes. The blood values differed only after 24 hours, and only 7 studies were included. The summary of the studies does not state which dose and which form were used; it is therefore impossible to say whether a serving of this product matches the study conditions. The results relate exclusively to muscle soreness and markers of muscle damage and are averages from studies, not an individual result.
What's behind it
L-carnitine is a compound that is also produced by the body and is partly made up of amino acids. It is combined with water-soluble B vitamins, green tea extract and inulin, a water-soluble fibre.
What the vitamins do
- Thiamin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
- Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
- Niacin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Pantothenic acid contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
