Ingredients explained
L-Carnitine base
L-carnitine shuttles long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation, supporting cellular energy production from fats.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people; taking with water and away from large meals can help tolerance.
Calcium
Calcium serves as an essential mineral for muscle contraction and cell signalling, contributing to normal neuromuscular function.
Caution: High total calcium intake from diet and supplements may lead to constipation or interact with certain medicines; separate from iron or some antibiotics to avoid reduced absorption.
How they work together
L-carnitine facilitates transport of fatty acids into mitochondria to support energy production during activity, while calcium contributes to normal muscle contraction and signalling. Together they cover energy mobilisation and neuromuscular function for active routines.

Unlock your potential for a lean, muscular body with Swanson L-Carnitine! A favourite among dieters and bodybuilders, this amazing amino acid helps the body metabolise fat to energise muscles for effective, productive workouts.

Emerging research also suggests that L-carnitine may offer unique benefits for mature adults, easing fatigue and supporting cognitive function.
