Factors that Inhibit Production of L-Carnitine

Factors that Inhibit Production of L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine to work most effectively if combined with a diet low in sugar and carbohydrates
Studies show that carnitine to work effectively, carbohydrate intake should be kept below 50% of the total calories consumed daily.
Increased insulin levels inhibit optimal carnitine activity (the burning of body fat and energy production).
 Omega 3 fatty acids (which can be obtained from linseed or flaxseed and fish oils) can increase the activity and function of carnitine in the body
Linseed oil or flaxseed oil not only increases the activities of carnitine in the body, but research has also shown flaxseed oil may lower risk of death from coronary heart disease.
Adequate consumption of protein every meal is very important for carnitine and fat burning activity.
