During long endurance efforts at a light to moderate intensity, fats are an important fuel for the muscles. Moreover, a trained person burns more fat during such efforts compared to an untrained person. This allows trained athletes to save more muscle glycogen, which improves performance at the end of a long endurance effort. The availability of L-carnitine in the muscle determines the amount of fat that the muscles can use as an energy source during exercise.

It has been shown that the carnitine content in the muscle can be increased, provided that sufficiently high doses are taken for a sufficiently long period of time, and in combination with carbohydrates/sugars. The latter means that it is important to take L-carnitine either in combination with a meal containing many carbohydrates/sugars, or, for example, with a recovery shake after a workout. Naturally, it cannot be the intention to take extra carbohydrates with every intake of L-carnitine, because this would increase your body weight, which would have a negative effect on your endurance performance. Taking L-carnitine tartrate, in the form of Carnipure®, for 12 to 24 weeks and always in combination with carbohydrates increases the level of L-carnitine in the muscles. This stimulates fat burning during low-intensity exercise, saves glycogen for the end of the race, and can thus improve performance during endurance exercise.

The "6d L-CARNITINE CARNIPURE®" contains 1000 mg of ultra-pure Carnipure® per capsule. However, the "6d L-CARNITINE CARNIPURE®" is only interesting for (ultra) endurance athletes, as the effect of L-carnitine only occurs during long endurance efforts at a light to moderate intensity.
