Ergo-Log Excerpt: L-Carnitine makes Alli weight loss even more effective





Study

The Italians did an experiment with 227 fat people who had diabetes-2. Half of the group were given 3 doses a day of 120 mg orlistat, for a year. Orlistat suppresses the enzymes that are involved in the fat uptake in the digestive tract and therefore reduces the amount of calories absorbed from food.




The other half of the group took not only orlistat but also 2 g L-carnitine every day. The mitochondria, the cells' power stations, use L-carnitine to burn fatty acids. It's still not actually clear whether you burn more fatty acids if you take L-carnitine, but that’s another story.




Results
At the end of the year the orlistat group had lost 9.5 kg. The combination group had lost 11.3 kg.


Other values, such as those for the insulin resistance markers and inflammatory process markers, improved faster in the combination group than in the orlistat group.




HbA1c: glycated haemoglobin; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; PPG: post-prandial plasma glucose; FPI: fasting plasma insulin; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index; Hs-CRP: high sensitivity-C reactive protein.



The L-carnitine had no side effects.

All Natural DNP Fat Burner Alternative Supplement Stack


DNP is all the rage on Youtube as a fat burner. The are numerous issues with it in regards to the safety of use and the availability. I would recommend using the below stack as a replacement.  

Grains of Paradise, also known as Aframomum Melegueta, is a novel ingredient that raises the body's metabolic rate and core temperature. Preliminary studies indicate that it may result in a reduction of body weight. This is the primary ingredient of the stack.

Grains of Paradise (6-Paradol) 30 - 40 mg per day.
Capsaicin (Cayenne Pepper Extract) 100 - 500 mg 
Ginger Extact 100 - 500 mg

My suggestion would be to purchase OWN PWR Metabolism or combine Betancourt Carnitine Plus with Piping Rock Ultra Cayenne Plus and a ginger supplement.



Take prior to cardio or first thing in the morning while fasting on off days.

Increase Muscle by Increasing Testosterone Androgen Receptors




ALLMAX L-CARNITINE L-TARTRATE, 120 Capsules Supplying 500mg L-Carnitine, Vegan and Gluten Free Dietary Supplement

Researchers and scientists at the University of Connecticut's Human Performance Laboratory tested the effects of L-Carnitine on its ability to enhance free-testosterone utilization. In the 21-day human clinical study, L-Carnitine dosed at 2 grams per day increased the number of androgen receptors compared to results produced by a placebo group.

Androgenic responses to resistance exercise: effects of feeding and L-carnitine. ... PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of 3 wk of L-carnitine L-tartrate (LCLT) supplementation and post-resistance-exercise (RE) feeding on hormonal and androgen receptor (AR) responses.


Product description:

ALLMAX introduces 100% Pure L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT), one of the world's most bio-available forms of L-Carnitine supplementation.

Stimulant-Free Fat Metabolizer: L-Carnitine is essential for transporting long-chain fats into the cell (mitochondria). L-Carnitine taps into your fat supply and may provide support to burn it as fuel, resulting in increased energy. Without L-Carnitine, these fats cannot be burned for energy and are instead shunted to stored body fat.*

  • Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR):has been shown to enhance cognitive function.
  • Glycine Propionyl L-Carnitine (GPLC): Has been shown to improve blood flow and used for a nitric oxide boost
  • Propionyl L-Carnitine (PLCAR): Best for metabolism and fat burning

SteelFit Abs of Steel Maximum Definition Cream





from the manufacturer:

WHY ABS OF STEEL®?

Abs of Steel’s main active ingredient CoAxel is a fast acting fat burner that combines three active substances, L-Carnitine, Caffeine, and Coenzyme A that work to eliminate fat fast.
Coenzyme A and L-Carnitine induce a “one-way fatty acid pump” to release fat cells while caffeine, a lipolysis promoting agent, breaks down fat and other lipids. In a study where people applied 5% CoAxel twice daily for 28 days 50% more subcutaneous fat was released and hypodermis thickness decreased 8.2%.
Abs of Steel’s knockout punch comes from an ancient Chinese Medicinal Herb to activate fat burning through G-Proteins which tightens skin and reduces subcutaneous fat. Glycerol, a carb used to store fatty acids in the body is released by up to 265% using this technology!
Unlike thermogenic supplements that increase your body temperature and heart rate, alter your sleep cycles and give you other unwanted and unhealthy side effects, Abs of Steel® attacks the fat through the skin so there are no side effects other than temporary heat and redness. Your body will not build tolerance or adapt to Abs of Steel® so you do not have to cycle it. Abs of Steel® is 100% safe and we suggest using it in conjunction with regular exercise and a healthy diet to achieve maximum results.

HOW TOPICAL PRODUCTS WORK

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, designed to protect against external harms, regulate body heat, and manage nutrient levels and water loss. It’s composed of 3 layers:
  • The epidermis, the outermost layer, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
  • The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.
  • The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.
For a topical product to work it not only has to penetrate the skin but get absorbed too.
Skin Penetration represents the amount of a topically applied ingredient that exists between the top layer and bottom layer of your skin, during penetration the body does not yet absorb the ingredient, and it cannot affect the body systems.
Skin Absorption occurs when the topically applied ingredient penetrates the skin barrier.
The active ingredients in SteelFit® products are permeable, meaning they both penetrate and are absorbed by skin cells where they are processed and circulated.
That heat and tingle when you apply the products is actually the active ingredients increasing energy to the topical area, allowing the ingredients to absorb more efficiently and also sending signals to that area, hence spot reduction.
