• Utilizes fats as fuel - improves fatty acid metabolism
• Spares your muscle glycogen - may contribute to prolonged endurance performance
• Reduces lactate in muscles - enables more efficient energy production
• Faster recovery - some studies suggest reduced muscle damage after exertion

L-Carnitine plays a crucial role in utilizing fats as an energy source. Its primary function is to transport long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) across the mitochondrial membrane, where they are oxidized for energy. This process is especially important during low- to moderate-intensity exercise when fats serve as the main energy source.

• Supports fat utilization as fuel – contributes to more efficient fatty acid oxidation
• Spares muscle glycogen – allows better use of available energy stores
• May reduce lactate levels during intense exercise – helps maintain optimal metabolic balance
• Regulates Acetyl-CoA / CoA ratio – plays a role in energy metabolism during peak performances
• Supports long-term muscle adaptation – some studies suggest that carnitine may help reduce muscle damage after high-intensity training

With long-term and regular use, carnitine offers benefits for all types of athletes:

• Endurance athletes (runners, cyclists, triathletes) - supports more efficient fat utilization as an energy source
• Strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts - speeds up recovery and reduces muscle damage
• Team sport athletes (football, hockey, rugby, etc.) - helps lower lactate levels and supports performance during repeated explosive movements
• Anyone looking to optimize energy metabolism - may contribute to improved metabolic flexibility

L-Carnitine is a key compound for transporting fatty acids into mitochondria, where they are converted into energy. For athletes, it plays a crucial role in:

• Fat metabolism
• Supporting endurance performance
• Potentially reducing lactate during intense exercise

L-carnitine is primarily present in skeletal muscle and the heart muscle, where it makes up to 98% of the body's total stores. While the body can synthesize it on its own, regular and long-term supplementation may support performance – especially when taken together with carbohydrates, which facilitate its absorption into the muscles.

The ideal combination is to take carnitine, for example, with an hyve sports drink or a pre-workout drink like hyve Endurance pro.

Daily dose: 2-3 g of carnitine per day – ideal for long-term use

For maximum effectiveness, take carnitine consistently along with carbohydrates, which support its absorption

Single doses before or after training are not proven to have an immediate performance-enhancing effect
