L-Carnitine is not a fat burner

L-Carnitine is not a fat burner

Fat is also an important source of energy. Since fat can't freely cross the mitochondria (a structure in a cell where fat can be converted into energy), it needs a carrier/medium for transport.

This is the function of Carnitine, by binding with fat and transporting it across the mitochondrial membrane.

How to effectively eliminate "excess" fat?
1. Diet (Low/No fat & Low carbohydrate)
- lowers down fat buildup in the body at the same time, shifts the body's major source of energy (from carbohydrate to fat)
2. Exercise
