Stark L-Carnitine 500 mg (L-carnitine, weight control)

Stark L-Carnitine 500 mg (tablets) — support for energy metabolism and endurance

Stark L-Carnitine is a dietary supplement in tablet form containing L-carnitine in the form of L-tartrate.

L-carnitine is a nutrient involved in transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they can be used to produce energy.

The product is often used in the training process, when performance, endurance, and recovery from exertion are important.

Briefly about the product:

• 1 tablet contains L-carnitine L-tartrate - 500 mg.
• Form: tablets.
• Available quantity options: 60 or 200 tablets.
• Other ingredients: microcellulose, Biosil, calcium stearate.
• Recommended intake approach: as recommended by a trainer or sports doctor.
• GMO-free.

How it works:

• Carnitine shuttle: may help transport fatty acids into mitochondria for further β-oxidation.
• Energy from fats: may promote more efficient use of fatty acids as an energy substrate during aerobic exercise.
• CoA balance: can maintain the balance between free CoA and acetyl-CoA, which is important for the functioning of energy pathways.
• Metabolic flexibility: can help the body switch between energy sources more flexibly depending on the intensity of the load.
• Recovery: Some studies have linked L-carnitine (particularly in the form of L-tartrate) to supporting recovery processes after intense exercise.
• Oxidative stress: may help maintain antioxidant balance during exercise.

The effect of the Stark L-Carnitine supplement

• Energy metabolism: helps support energy production processes.
• Endurance: May help maintain endurance during exercise.
• Performance: May help maintain training performance.
• Fat utilization: may promote the uptake of fatty acids as an energy substrate.
• Recovery: May help support recovery from intense exercise.
• Antioxidant protection: may help maintain antioxidant balance.

Benefits of the formula

• High dose: 500 mg of L-carnitine L-tartrate in one tablet.
• Convenient dosage: the dosage regimen is tied to body weight.
• Simple formula: minimal set of auxiliary components for tablet technology.
• Choice of packaging: 60 or 200 tablets available.
• Non-GMO: The product does not contain GMOs.

Who might be interested?

• For people with an active lifestyle during periods of increased physical activity.
• Those who add carnitine to their diet as part of their training routine.
• During preparatory cycles, when endurance and quality of recovery are important.

Scientific data

1. Recovery after strength training (L-carnitine L-tartrate)

Source: Volek et al., 2002, randomized placebo-controlled trial, PMID: 11788381.

In short: in the study, taking L-carnitine L-tartrate was associated with more favorable dynamics of markers of muscle damage and oxidative stress after exercise, as well as with less manifestations of muscle “destruction” according to MRI data.

2. 5 weeks of intake and recovery rates

Source: Stefan et al., 2021, randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, PMID: 34684429.

In summary, the L-carnitine L-tartrate group reported better subjective recovery scores and less soreness, as well as lower creatine kinase values after the exercise challenge; additionally, changes in antioxidant markers were noted.

3. Biomechanics of the carnitine shuttle

Source: El-Gharbawy et al., 2017, review, PMCID: PMC6566095.

Briefly: The review describes the carnitine-dependent transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria involving CPT1, CACT, and CPT2, which is the basic mechanism of carnitine's involvement in energy metabolism.
