What is CARNITINE and Is It Worth Taking? | QuickFIT #2
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 02. 2018
- Here's another moderately popular fitness supplement touted for its potential fat loss increase and performance boost: CARNITINE. Having connections to important fitness markers such as nitric oxide, lactate, and fatty acid transport, it certainly looks to be a major player. Whether supplementation is worth it, though, is another question.

Lots of supplement video requests! All I can say is that I'll try my best, but please give it time :)
PictureFit It seems like most of the people want a video for citrulline malate. It would be a great one. :)
I agree we need details about citrulline , thanks alot we appreciate your efforts
What about mental benefits of Carnitine? Could that indirectly help fitness goals via helping motivation?
2x A & B work out or 4x A B C D workout
Do Testoboosters please :)
I don't have any scientific reason to disagree with this video but I think it makes me feel great before lifting weights
Oh love this channel, so honest
I suffer intermittent claudication (Pain or tightness in the lower leg due to inadequate blood flow)when engaged in strenuous activity and have found Glycine Propionyl L-Carnitine very effective in improving blood flow. Am a T1D too. This form of Carnitine is effective. Additionally, taking ALCAR + Alpha Lipoic Acid in 600 mg doses before bed has decreased neuropathy symptoms. Learned about it's use on the Linus Pauling Institute site years ago.
Hey PictureFit , i had to watch it twice because the first time i was just jammin with the new soundtrack LOL . It's nice , but i couldn't help it xD. Nice content , nice videos, nice explanations, simple and straight to the point. I LOVE you man. Thx :D
Thanks for watching x2!
I started taking l carnitine when i was eating 85% protine.. before taking it..my work out use to be latterly depressing..then i started taking it with the only amount of carbs ,50 grams, 15 to 30 mins before my workout.. i noticed a big improvement..my mood doesnt get depressed. And started to enjoy my work out like when i workout for gain
It’s the carbs effect not the carnitine
I eata lot of carbs, but I'm not in a good mood... also not that much energy onbly fat gain... what I noticed, a lot of L-carnitine, it is mixed with energy giving substances like cafein, so thats probably one reason why many people are "feeling it".
@@bewolfzr9969 it's actually the L-carnetine effect.. it helps using the stored fat as a primary source of energy.. i did the study on myseld and found it effective on the mood part during the workout... i can't notice the effects on the losing weight part..since its not possible to do study it on one individual..
@@dragosvoda3445 make sense too... i tried it without caffeine..and it worked for me..
But each body responds differently.. i just wonder how you found my comment that was posted 2 years ago haha
Carnetine and ALCAR could give manic episodes to people with bipolar, they do effect the mood.
Yesss I commented to do this and now you are. Thank you!
Thx for the enlightment! Always appreciated!😉
My pleasure!
Can you please do a video on fasting (not intermittent), low calorie diet, 5:2 diet or something of the like? Love your videos!
LCLT can work with a calorie deficit of course. LCLT also boosts Androgen receptor content
Even a gainer can make you lose weight on a calorie deficit
A chocolate base diet can make u lose weight too, on a calorie deficit
I’m taking Oxyshred(thermo fat burner) and ALCAR while on a caloric deficit. I run on the treadmill once or twice a week. I’ve been losing on average 2lbs/1kg a week and happy with the results.
Awesome.
Oh wow I’ll check it out
pls do a video on citrulline malate.
E3meliZ 678 OK thanks
Beta - alanine
I just posted an Animated video on Citrulline Malate, no where near PictureFit level but it might tide you over until he makes his :)
Citrulline malate just works for me.pump. Power. Beta alanine too.
It gave me weird breathing symptoms at night
I remember some study showed increased fat burning after a 6 month supplementation along with resistance training
Idk how u do it but once I get interested into something fitness related and think “PictureFit should make a vid on this” within that week you cover the topic lol
can you do a video on meal timing, insulin spiking (GI Index) if it matters, and maybe list best vegetables?
I'm using ALCAR for health purposes, cognitive boost and anti-aging, since it's been shown it has positive effects on many of these things and it helped me feel better, more energised and mentally sharper. Certainly a supplement i will be using in the future. But i agree that for regular fitness dude however carninite supplementation it's not worth in general.
voltaspeeder17 - Well done
what type of alcar do you use?
Roshea what do you mean "if you are fasted"?
You mean "if you have fasted"? "If you are fasting"?
@@Broxine fasted = if you ware currently in a fasted state right now. I.e You just woke up and your 8hour window hasn't started yet, you are fasted
placebo
Yeah, I've always skipped this one, but very recently learned that I not only should take it, I need to take it. I have an inherited blood disorder called thalassemia, which causes anemia of chronic disease. Carnitine actually boosted my hemoglobin substantially, which was an unexpected result. I take alcar, and am looking into a prescription form instead going forward.
Hi there Did you use a l carbitine or carnitine tartrate? How much did you take? Thanks
@@andy2020ize Alcar is acetyl-L-carnitine
@@ayane_m you can buy acetyl-l-carnitine or l carnitine l tartrate. I believe the tartrate version is recommended for sports performance but maybe they have similar effects but if you take ALCAr and it works then good luck
How much do you take?
@@andy2020ize 500 mg/day
I thought about this supplement to improve energy and fat loss. I am on a budget so now I will just buy some extra protein. As always thanks for the great advice!
Save your money on buying protein powder such as Whey which has only 10% absorption rate - eat eggs because it has 40%-45% absorption rate that can be easily used by your body - it is safe to eat 4-6 eggs daily with no cholesterol concerns. Many people on carnivore diet eat 6-12 eggs per day.
@@mikefa5891 you’re talking out your arse pal
@@mikefa5891 such a cap that its only 10% :D you were probably buying the cheapest powders out there, no wonder why you got this number :DDDD
@@mikefa5891 link me a credible study that states the bioavailability of whey is only 10%. Whey is readily absorbed in the gut
Could you do a video about blood flow restriction training ?
So for low protein diets like you mentioned that might benefit, wouldn't it just be better to take a complete protein supplement, much like with bcaas?
Could you make a video about fat loss and insuline?
Anyone who has actually used L-Carnitine would know it works in lower 2-4g dosages. Other than creatine and caffeine, the only supplements that actually work for me is citrulline mallate, beta alanine, and carnitine. When I added carnitine tartrate, I felt a noticeable increase in energy and a decrease in caffeine related jitters. I just purchased some alcar so we'll see if a combination of the two helps with fitness performance.
Can you make a video about proving that protein (as a supplement) is not something dangerous so I can show my mom? -_-
Protein is literally in all the food your mom eats, just because a protein in supplement doesn't mean that it's not protein anymore it just a nutrient that your body needs to grow/repair sometimes ppl can't get enough protein from the food they eat so they tend mixing the protein powder with milk/water so they consume more protein easily, what's dangerous is the steroids stay away from them !.....
Does your mom eat yogurt? Cheese? Butter? Ricotta? Anything to do with milk? Then she's eating the same thing used to make the two most popular protein supplements: whey and casein. It's literally those in a concentrated form.
Please DO make a video I have a lot of clients who are kids and their parents are scared of protein powder. It would be awesome to have something to reference them to.
I get that bro. Same thing happened to me.
@@francoisstrength B🇻🇬🇸🇳
i am 44 years old and used lately, ALCAR , i am playing KICKBoxing and find a great improvement in Muscles performance and better Stamina at about 50 % ,,
@picturefit I would LOVE to see a video on the benefits/lack thereof in regards to the decline bench press. I always feel so torn!! An avid group of people maintain that it is essential and helps develop an aesthetic chest unlike anything else. Others insist that it is useless when compared to flat and incline. I NEED YOUR OPINION! Thanks in advance!
Harris Miller its better for the upper chest
you cant outrun my gun lmao are you a troll or are you high? It’s used for targeting the lower chest.
Can you please do a video on isometric training? Thanks :)
Can we get a video about how should we split these muscles in a routine for better results?
Chest/tricep and back/bicep
or chest/bicep and back/tricep
or chest, back and arms on separate days
I've always seen people doing any of those based on personal preferences but which one do you think is the most optimal?
I find I am 3 times stronger when I lift weights at the gym and I last longer.
No clue why, but it always made me feel hyped... and its no placebo, trust me... ive been taking that "not so well studied" thing for over 5 years now...
Go wonder... people think im on speed when i take 2 to 3grams...
is it the oral or the injected form? i know the injected form is more effective cause the body can't break the oral form down completely
Hey picture fit can you make a video about high frequency training and circuit training benefits of each?
@PictureFit can you do a video on Stretch Marks? Seeing a couple come up in my body while i just started bulking and i cant find conclusive data online about them
Studies have shown its excellent for endurance athletes too
💚👍 GREAT! Thank you for mentioning that. Will help the long hikes in Adirondacks!
I love your page so much
It would be good if there is video content of points to consider when plan a work out.. since there is very few of videos on how to start planning work out..
The Kinobody ad that prerolled this video was the funniest thing I've seen all day.
Hah, his ads are awesome and hilarious.
I have no clue what i would do if these videos did not exist
Great video
What CZcamsr would you recommend for customized plans
Please do a video on bro-splits, full body workouts, scheduling, etc....
If you are natural do multi muscle group splits or full body. Bro splits are mostly for people on gear. Doesn't work well long term for natural bodybuilders.
u r the best professor i have ever seen
Appreciate the words, but I'm no professor. Those of which gone through extensive education and labored through the doctoral process deserves that title. I'm merely a messenger.
I ordered a supplement of L-car with vit B5 for energy, but it would also work against acne. Does any1 have experience with this?
Bro thanks for all your help and also can you make a video on beetroot it has some benefits like steroid
Can you do a video on thermogenic so?
We need a video about the effect of cold and hot path on muscles
Hey, why don't you do a video on bone health, runners knee problems and TYPES OF ORGANIC OR SUPPLEMENTAL CALCIUM based on absorption capacity and other factors.... Thank you... Im sure people will appreciate this kind of help... Thank you in advance. You provide great content. :)
Thank you! That's ome supplement I want to skip but I was advised to take it he heart. Not sure I need it though.
Hi can you do a video about ems for abs, are they harmful to the body and if they really work if you go gym and do cardio but no abs exercises.
I had purchased an era supplement a while ago with carnitine in it. I notice that I get hungrier when I take it. Maybe it can increase metabolic rate/ be a minor thermogenic.
Hey, can you make a video on how nicotine affects gainz. Been vaping and using "dip".
Another awesome video! And could you do a video about Na-R-Ala? I just can't find any scientific studies about it, but it's seems like it could be an awesome supplement.
Is there a difference between oral v. Intramuscular administration of carnitine or is your conclusion the same? Thanks.
Hi PictureFit :-) why didnt you mention carnitines effect on androgene receptors?
It’d be really helpful if you could make a video on Fat Burners.. please
The new music sounds odd after hearing the old one so many times, great video though!
Music gainz
can you do a video on autophagy research. for those who fast and workout
Hey picfit i've got a question what if i've stopped lifting weights, as in i lost my membership for a gym and all is there a way to maintain a my max rep if try to do caslithics does it maintain it
Could you please make a video about Tribulus Terrestris ? If it is placebo or helpful, there is a lot of discussions on the internet and many people tells its just a placebo doing nothing.
This issue is you talk about fat loss - but not about its actual role, this supplement would only work while already in a fat burning mode such as fasting or calorie deficit you didn’t really go into detail
Please do a video on hgh boostersupplements like hgh x2!!
Sorry for my english but a good aerobie help after muscle (more ATP for muscle) so more power output no ?
Can you do a study on how to increase speed I’m a huge track athlete please help me
Is plyometrics the best and fastest way to go for dunking
Could you do a video on Collagen for loose skin after massive fat loss?
Igor Arruda do a surgery.;)
man up ha ha, very funny
Hey i wanna ask something not about this video .
u made a video a while ago said (Cold shower is good for losing fat , but not good for building muscles)
so my question is : if i took a HOT shower then at the end of the shower i make it COLD not suddenly but bit by bit til it gets COLD. is that still bad for building muscles ?
Pls do a video on vascularity and veins
Could you do one on fat burners?
What do they do and how do they work?
He just did.. fat burners have caffeine and lcarnene both aren’t a magic formula to lose weight hard work and good dieting is the only way to lose weight efficiently
could do a video for best routines for 3 or 4 days workout ??
Just train full body 3 days per week.
How speed works and how to increase it please help make a vid on the topic pleaseeeeee
Nice video.. yet there are researches say it works for fat loss if taken with high GI carbs (and the injectable type as well).
What's important is the general consensus. Some studies will show potential benefits, some will not. If you're curious, you're free to try for yourself.
Do a video on ingredients to find on a fat burner that are proven to work. I know some b.s. on some fat burners like raspberry ketones
Working out multiple times a day? Good or bad? I would be happy to see a video on this topic
It depends on what you mean by working out multiple times (same muscles more than once? different muscles? cardio or weights? And it also depends on your goals. Your question is too vague.
My opinion would be that if what u stated were to be correct (assuming it is) then the only benefit could come from a placebo effect and nothing else... which is better than nothing. i mean the brain can trick itself to believe anything even that by taking some chemicals with no to minimal proven effect u get a mental boost and/or other positive illusions. When taking supplements it's vital to do so in moderating like anything in life balance is important.
i have question that hope you can answer: can i take a shower in the morning to make my muscle bigger ? because when i wake up my muscle always smaller , i have to eat and drink to bring my normal size back
. i if i can take a shower in the morning to make muscle bigger, should i take a hot or cold water? Pls answer me tks a lot
please do a video on the NO boosters and cognitive supplement agmatine or on supplements that "increase HGH" like, alpha-gpc, melatonin, ursolic acid (holy basil), ashwaghanda etc...
You forgot to mention l carnitine benefits on androgen receptors its very beneficial
it worked on me I ate 900 calories per day nd take 3 gram L carnitine my weight was 88 kg 3 month ago now its 81 kg
I enjoy drinking it when I get a free sample as it makes hydration taste better.... that's about the only benifit for me
Hey picture fit, can you please make a video on the affects of smoking on gains
Not good for health. I would assume not great for gains.
Do a video about Alpha GPC and CDP choline supplements ??
Do you do customized programs?
@pictureFit how about fruit? avoid or not ?
this can be a video right ?
thanks man
Thanks a lot.
How can I avoid eating bad food??? I was clean on my diet but chips ahoy brownie cookies were in my cabinet and one thing led to another and they are gone now
TheGavinPark TM Chips ahoy, good one! 😂
Stop lamenting and just get back to eating healthy foods as soon as possible.
Stop eating them
If you're new to this lifestyle, you may want to incorporate cheat meals (around maybe 3 meals per week at most) It might also be best to think of calories in a weekly basis. Nobody can gain 1 lb a day unless they eat an additional 3500 calories. Don't sweat it. If you overeat for one day, just eat slightly less throughout the remainder of the week! Hope this helps
Stop buying them and having them in the cabinet in the first place, just don't do it again
forget about it and move on. Get right back into your diet and training.
It really works , I have lost a lot of that Stubborn fat.I use 1-2 g per day.It is worth buying.
I have a question, does eating gum help with weight loss. It may sound weird but I like to just go into my pantry to go and find food to eat for no reason either than I want to eat something and lately I have been going on bike rides to 7/11 and I find myself buying gum. Whenever I get home I normally grab a gum and start chewing and I haven't been snooping in the pantry as much in result... so idk if this would help at all but it did make me want to go to 7/11 more on bike and made me randomly eat less so move more eat less?
DoodlySquaK might be because the feeling of chewing something tricks your body into being less hungry or feeling the need to snack?
eating is always healthy for weight loss. it just depends on what your eating and when. if your eating less carb then you will feel less energized and to much protein and have fun in the bathroom. its a balance. losing weight isnt about eating more or less but rather routine and a caloric deficit. but eating less/more has no correlation to losing more weight.
Also could you do a video on Lipocide?
Hey PictureFit , what is the best supplements for recovery and pump?
Abdulaziz Alassiri sleep
Try L arginine for good pump and vascularity
Try 5mg of melatonin every night right before bed, this would improve your sleep and resting efficiency, enhancing your recovery
Recovery: Protein, sleep, and L-Glutamine. Pump: Lots of Carbs and a nitric oxide pre workout
Abdulaziz As arginine for pump
It only works if you been lifting for years I know I take it. It increases aggression for sure I guess due to the AR androgen receptor increase.
Wait so can I take it in the start to increase those receptors?
Should I use Clen or Tren? ?
Do a video about Whey protein and acne
Talk about when and for how long you should stretch
I'm 5 years late to the party but I doubt the studies cited used enough oral L-carnitine or any injected L-carnitine. This could really undermine their relevance as the bioavailability of L-carnitine is only 14% to 18%, and only mega-dosing, injection, or some other means of increased bioavailability could overcome this barrier. A good study of it's effects in the body would have to take this into account. I think that the reason there is so much pushback from people who have been mega-dosing or injecting L-carnitine is that for us it has been very effective at improving energy, endurance, and mood. Not to mention the strong clinical evidence, not mentioned here, that L-carnitine upregulates androgen receptors. It may not live up to all the hype in the manosphere, nothing does, but it certainly has some benefit, is safe, and is fairly cheap as well. I'd recommend people just try it for themselves.
Hi, since I started training seriously, my normal blood preasure increased to about 150. I am 20 years old 5.10-5.11" (183cm), 190 pounds. (86kg). I take creatine. I dont drink coffee or take caffeine. I dont drink alcohol. My diet is pretty healthy, although I could reduce the ammount of meat i consume. Any tips? Thank you :)
Gotta talk to the doc bud. I'm not familiar with your health and family history, factors imperative to making any determination. The basics apply. Solid light-work exercise, healthier food choices.
@@PictureFit excuses
Honestly I just like the taste...love bpi’s snow cone flavor😂😂😂
bpi sucks
What about creatine hcl vs creatine monohydrate?
Do video on "anabolic window"
I'd like to know if it's more effective to use your muscles in the exact way the string are going or if it's better to go a bit off to increase muscle tearing?
Hopefully you know what I mean
Sorry, I do not know what you mean.
Like is I were to do a bicep curl that utilises the biceps range of movement and muscle fibre direction to a bicep curl that is slightly off going to one side which as in instead of touching your bicep with the dumbbells you try to go to the left to make it more uncomfortable for the bicep I'm just asking if it's worth doing this with a bit lower weights or not because it's not optimizing the biceps muscle fibre direction so less of it can help out meaning more isolation of certain fibres in theroy? This can be applied to other exercises too im pretty sure
Make a video on cordyceps pls
Does anyone know the source of the carnitine in supplements?
