L-Carnitine – More Than Just a Fat Burner!

L-Carnitine Tartrate (the same kind as found in GP3 EVO) is well known as a fat loss aid. It oxidizes fat into energy – but did you know that it’s also a potent muscle builder?

Is that true?

It’s true! Sports scientists at the Islamic Azad University in Iran published a study (2015) in the Asian Journal of Sports Medicine. It showed that 2 grams of the stuff (hey, the same daily dose found in GP3 EVO) protects athletes’ muscle from breaking down. Their human study concluded that “The present study demonstrates that an acute bout of exercise can induce oxidative stress in active healthy young men”. “Two-week daily oral supplementation with L-carnitine has some alleviating effects on lipid peroxidation and muscle damage indices in favour of increased antioxidant capacity.” Source

Another study in 2010 showed that muscles were restored after training, again with the dose of 2 grams of L-Carnitine Tartrate. It reduced the increase in concentration of myoglobin and creatine kinase, proteins found in muscle cells which are released when muscle cells are damaged. L-Carnitine also reduced the increase in hypoxanthine, the enzyme hypoxanthine-oxidase and malondialdehyde after the training session. This proves that it also reduces damage to cells. Source

Note: the same researches found that L-Carnitine increased muscle cells uptake of androgenic compounds!!!

We recommend taking GP3 EVO in combination with Battle Juice for best results.
