L-CARNITINE AND EXCERCISE PERFORMANCE
Research demonstrates that L-carnitine supplementation enhances exercise performance and recovery. A recent human trial with a diverse cohort (ages 21-65) found that just five weeks of supplementation significantly reduced post-exercise muscle damage and soreness, decreasing fatigue and improving recovery. The study also noted increased muscle power and strength across all ages and genders, with a particularly pronounced recovery benefit observed in female participants. Click here for more information
