Lipotropic Plus and Super L-Carnitine are the super combo! Here's why....
The Lipotropic Plus Formula is a
superior "lipid transport." During cardiovascular activity, it
helps fat travel more efficiently through the bloodstream to its final
destination - the muscle. However, once there, it must permeate
the mitochondria of the muscle cell. That's where where Super L-Carnitine
helps. It actually helps the fat get into the cell for combustion.
The Lipotropic Plus Formula is scientifically-engineered to assist in the breakdown, distribution and burning (oxidation) of fatty acids. The active ingredients actually accelerate the fat-burning process by breaking down fat cells into smaller particles (emulsification) to be used for fuel during exercise.
This breakdown or emulsification of fat cells into smaller particles is similar to how soap breaks down grease on dishes. Plus, Lipotropic Plus increases levels of energy and stamina during exercise while providing resistance to fatigue The Lipotropic Plus Formula contains a concentrated source of lipotropic factors that work synergistically to help maximize this process. Additionally, the Lipotropic Formula helps to increase levels of energy and stamina during exercise while providing resistance to fatigue. An Analogy Here's a good analogy of how an emulsifier (fat-burner) works. Open a can of vegetable soup. Floating on the top are big fat globules and little fat globules. Imagine these globules represent your body-fat traveling through your bloodstream to your muscle tissue where they will eventually be burned as fuel.
Ingredient Summary L-Carnitine Carnitine is a vitamin-like nutrient and is essential for energy production and fat metabolism. Carnitine's major metabolic role is associated with the transport of long chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membranes, therefore stimulating the oxidation of these substrates for metabolic energy. Choline (Bitartrate) Choline (Bitartrate) is considered one of the B-complex vitamins and functions with inositol as a basic constituent of lecithin.Choline is associated primarily with the utilization of fats and cholesterol in the body. Its main function is to prevent the accumulation of fats in the liver and facilitate the movement of free fatty acids into the cells for utilization. In addition, choline plays an important role in the transmission of the nerve impulses and is essential for the health of the myelin sheaths which are principle components of the nerve fibers. Since choline helps to emulsify fats and cholesterol, it has also been shown to be useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis and hardening of the arteries. L-Methionine Methionine is an essential amino acid which participates in the formation of nonprotein cellular constituents such as choline. Methionine is also the precursor of the nonessential amino acids cystine, carnitine, and taurine - all of which have widespread metabolic functions. Trimethylglycine Trimethylglycine is a naturally occurring metabolite and is manufactured in the body when there are sufficient quantities of its dietary precursors choline and methionine. Trimethylglycine donates its three methyl groups to a vital biochemical process known as transmethylation. During this process eight amino acids are transformed to more than 100 other specialized amino acids. Additionally, methyl donors act as biochemical catalysts which enhance cellular reactions, therefore promoting metabolic efficiency. Methyl donors also play a major role in the oxygenation of the blood; with more methyl groups available, more oxygen can be delivered to the muscles. Methyl donors such as trimethylglycine are also involved in the synthesis of protein and nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) and in maintaining the integrity of the nervous system.
This amino acid serves at the basic nitrogen pool for the synthesis of nonessential amino acids and is an important element in the structure of red blood cells. Glycine is also required for the synthesis of creatine, an important source of muscular energy and is also necessary for the biosynthesis of glucose, RNA, and DNA. The most recognized symptom of glycine deficiency is a loss of energy. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) Vitamin B6 is a water soluble vitamin and is required for the proper absorption of vitamin B12, and for the production of hydrochloric acid and magnesium. Vitamin B6 helps linoleic acid function better in the body and plays a major role in the breakdown and utilization of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. In addition, vitamin B6 facilitates the release of glycogen from the liver and skeletal muscles so that it can be used for energy. Vitamin B6 also helps to maintain the balance of sodium and potassium, which regulate body fluids and promote the normal functioning of the nervous system and skeletal muscle system.

Super L-Carnitine Super L-Carnitine is essential for fat burning. I.B. Fritz and K.T.N. Yue, physiologists from the University of Michigan, discovered that Carnitine actually accelerates fat-burning 1. Without it, fat is unable to penetrate the walls of the mitochondria of the muscle cells. Carnitine is the shuttle that carries fat into your body’s furnaces (muscles) to be burned for energy. Super L-Carnitine increases the rate of fat utilization for fuel. L-Carnitine is a vitamin-like nutrient related to the vitamin-B family. It is a physiological substance essential for energy production. This process takes place in the mitochondria inside the cell. L-Carnitine is actually responsible for the transportation of fatty acids into the cell. The primary function of Carnitine is to facilitate the transport of fatty acids from the cell’s cytoplasm across the mitochondria membrane to the interior of the mitochondria where oxidation occurs. (Fat-burning process.) Without carnitine as a carrier, the fatty acids are unable to penetrate the membrane of the mitochondria. This will result in a decreased rate of fat utilization and energy. L-Carnitine also helps to remove by-products of fatty acid metabolism and other toxic compounds from within the cells. Each tablespoon (15cc) of Super L-Carnitine Formula contains:

Suggested use: Take one (1) tablespoon for every 45 kg (100 lbs.) of body weight. Total dosage to be split before and after each exercise session. Use Super L- Carnitine in conjunction with Lipotropic Plus. Analogy: More About Carnitine: Carnitine is a vitamin-like nutrient, which is similar to choline and a close cousin to the amino acids. However, unlike amino acids, L-carnitine is not used for protein synthesis. Carnitine was given "B vitamin" status because it has characteristics of the B-complex group (it contains nitrogen and is highly water-soluble). Additionally, carnitine is not a vitamin since it can be biosynthesized. {Note: A vitamin by definition is a substance, which is essential to the body but cannot be produced by the body and must therefore be obtained in the diet}. Carnitine, like many biological molecules, is available in two forms: L-carnitine and DL-carnitine. These two forms, or isomers, are mirror images of each other. However only the L-isomer is physiologically effective. DL-carnitine is a competitive inhibitor of L-carnitine in several metabolic processes. Only L-carnitine is found in natural foods (see "Dietary Sources of Carnitine"). Origin and Biosynthesis Carnitine was first isolated in 1905. Researchers, however, have just recently discovered L-carnitine's extensive metabolic attributes and its nutritional importance. L-carnitine is a nonessential nutrient, however it can only be manufactured in the presence of methionine, lysine, vitamin C, vitamin B6, niacin, and iron. The nutritional status of the individual, therefore, greatly influences the body's ability to manufacture carnitine. The primary function of carnitine is to facilitate the transport of fatty acids from the cell's cytoplasm across the mitochondrial membrane to the interior of the mitochondria where oxidation occurs. Without carnitine as a carrier, the fatty acids are unable to penetrate the membrane of the mitochondria which results in a decreased rate of fat utilization and energy. L-carnitine also helps to remove the by-products of fatty acid metabolism and other toxic compounds from within the cells. Exogenous carnitine can be obtained in one of two ways:
Supplemental L-Carnitine and Athletic Performance The results of recent research demonstrates the beneficial effects of supplemental L-carnitine when used prior to strenuous physical activity. In a pilot study involving college students, subjects receiving 300 mg doses of L-carnitine experienced dramatic increases in aerobic capacity as determined by the MaxVO2 (maximal volume of oxygen consumed). L-Carnitine and Cardiovascular Disease As previously mentioned, L-carnitine's primary role in the body is to transport fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane for beta oxidation. The ability of L-carnitine to improve blood lipid profiles (LDL/HDL) is pronounced. For example: When given to subjects suffering from hyperlipidemia, 900 mg per day of supplemental L-carnitine reduced blood triglycerides from an initial value of 440 mg/dl to 186 mg/dl after eight weeks of treatment. Treating individuals with Type II and Type IV hyperlipoproteinemia with three grams of supplemental L-carnitine per day for 40 days resulted in substantial decreases in plasma triglycerides as well as a decrease in the ratio of total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol. L-Carnitine has also been shown to significantly lower triglycerides and raise HDL cholesterol in individuals receiving hemodialysis (the process of removing blood for purification before returning it to the body). Additionally, L-Carnitine has been shown to reduce free fatty acid levels in the arteries by two to three fold. L-Carnitine Side Effects and Toxicity Carnitine is completely safe, with the possible exception of mild diarrhea at very high doses. The Life Sciences Research Office of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), under contract with the Bureau of Foods at the Food and Drug Administration, published a comprehensive review entitled "Health Effects of Dietary Carnitine" in 1983. They reported that in studies where 1 to 15 grams of L-carnitine were given as a normal supplement, the only side-effect was transient diarrhea. [NOTE: Large amounts of most substances will induce diarrhea due to an increase in osmotic pressure in the bowel]. The lethal dosage of carnitine in mice has been determined to be 8.9 grams per kilogram body weight when given by subcutaneous injection (under the skin). For a 60 kilogram person, this would be equal to approximately 540 grams, or well over one pound! No oral lethal dosage has ever been reported. This may be contrasted to aspirin, whose oral lethal dosage in mice is 1.1 gram per kilogram body weight. In humans, the oral consumption of 20 grams of aspirin is potentially lethal. Carnitine, therefore, is not only safer than aspirin, it is in fact one of the least toxic substances on earth. Click here and scroll down to purchase How will you re-use the Super Tube?
