Single ingredient formula without unnecessary additives: Carnipure® + rice flour + magnesium stearate + silicon dioxide. Free form source ("free form" as stated on the bottle), fast absorption. Stimulant-free, suitable for any time of day. 1 capsule/day, 30 to 40 minutes before training. 90 vegetable capsules (90 days). Vegan.
Benefits
L-Carnitine Tartrate Carnipure® 1000 mg: the fatty acid transporter to the mitochondria in the purest and most certified form:
L-Carnitine is the essential and irreplaceable cofactor of the CPT-I/CPT-II system (carnitine palmitoyltransferase I and II) which catalyzes the transport of long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation. Without sufficient carnitine in muscle and liver tissues, long-chain fatty acids mobilized from adipose tissue (via lipolysis) are retained in the cytoplasm and cannot access the mitochondria for oxidation, being partially re-esterified into triglycerides. Carnipure® ensures that each capsule provides exactly 1000 mg of active L-Carnitine in tartrate form, the most studied in clinical trials for performance and muscle recovery.
Free form: direct absorption and maximum bioavailability:
The bottle declares "Free Form" as a technical characteristic, indicating that L-Carnitine is in its unbonded form (not complexed with proteins or other molecules), which allows direct and rapid intestinal absorption via OCTN2 transporters (sodium-dependent organic cation transporter 2) in the intestinal mucosa, without the need for prior proteolytic digestion. This characteristic is especially relevant when the capsule is taken on an empty stomach or 30 minutes before training, where absorption speed is a priority to maximize carnitine availability in muscles during the session.
Stimulant-free: the fat burner for any time of day:
The complete absence of caffeine, synephrine, or any other stimulant makes this product suitable for consumption at any time of day, including night workouts, or for athletes who already have their caffeine intake maximized via pre-workout and do not wish to add more stimulants to their stack. It can be combined directly with any of the Life Pro thermogenics (Evidenced Burner, Thermo Full, Thermo 10) for synergistic effects.
Muscle recovery and reduction of post-workout oxidative damage:
In addition to its role in fat metabolism, L-Carnitine Tartrate has documented effects in reducing muscle damage induced by eccentric exercise: carnitine protects muscle fiber membranes from oxidative damage mediated by unesterified fatty acids and reduces markers of muscle injury (CK, myoglobin) after intense workouts, accelerating recovery. This additional property makes carnitine a relevant supplement not only for cutting periods but also for athletes with a high training load.
Uses
Recommended dose: Take 1 capsule/day, 30 to 40 minutes before training. To maximize muscle carnitine uptake, co-ingest with a meal containing moderate to high glycemic index carbohydrates (the insulin peak upregulates the OCTN2 transporter in muscle cells). Regular use for at least 4 to 8 weeks for measurable effects on muscle carnitine content.
