L-Carnitine - 60 Capsules - Thorne is a health supplement produced by Thorne Research, a trustworthy company with a reputation for high-quality, science-based nutritional supplements. The primary ingredient in these capsules is L-carnitine, a compound naturally produced by the body, primarily in the liver and kidneys. Each Thorne's L-Carnitine capsule contains 330mg of L-carnitine. L-carnitine is responsible for transporting fatty acids into your cells' mitochondria, where they can be burned for energy. This function is imperative for heart and brain function, muscle movement and several other body processes. It is often used and marketed as a weight loss aid, and possibly for improving exercise performance. The contents are filled into a hypromellose capsule, a plant-derived material, making this product suitable for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet. The capsules are also free from gluten, making them safe for those with relevant dietary restrictions. Other ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and leucine. Microcrystalline cellulose is used as a bulking agent, silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent, and leucine, which is a type of amino acid. The product comes in a container of 60 capsules. It is recommended to take one capsule twice a day or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. It is only to be used by adults over 18 years of age. Like any supplement, consult your healthcare provider before using if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition.
