Increases The Utilization Of Stored Fats For Energy!
Beverly International Lean out is the ultimate lipotropic formula in capsule form providing the latest in quality substances including the
standard lipotropics, L-Carnitine, Chromium Picolinate and Co-Enzyme 10,
the substance that is an important fat soluble antioxidant which protects
lipid-soluble substances like cholesterol from oxidation, the process where
cholesterol is deposited on the arterial walls. This is the absolute optimum
Lipotropic Formula in the world and should be in everyone's diet.
Burn Fat and Preserve Muscle
Have you ever dieted away your hard-earned muscle? What if you found a new substance that burned fat, enhanced fat utilization,
spared muscle glycogen, and reduced muscle catabolism? You'd probably think
you found a newly developed muscle building drug that the FDA doesn't know
about.
It's true that anabolic steroids certainly do all of the above. But, unlike steroids, your newfound substance does not raise blood serum
triglycerides or lower HDL's (the "good" cholesterol). In fact,
it does just the opposite giving you a much healthier blood lipid profile.
If you saw both scientific and user reports suggesting that just such a
substance exists, and the only reported side-effect was a euphoric mental
state, would you be interested? Pretty ridiculous question, isn't it?
This is Legit
The fact is such a remarkable substance does exist. You probably even know a little about it. The name of this remarkable substance is L-Carnitine. Some of the fat burning products you've used in the past might list L-Carnitine on the label and you sure didn't experience the benefits noted above. That's okay, there's a number of reasons why that might have happened. Let's just say the scientific community has been impressed enough to fund a substantial amount of medical and scientific research centering around L-Carnitine. In fact, at least three U.S. pharmaceutical companies now make prescription tablets of L-Carnitine.
How it Works
L-Carnitine basically serves two extremely important functions as far as we're concerned as bodybuilders, burning fat and the metabolism
of branched chain amino acids (BCAA's). L-Carnitine is a co-factor which
is required for transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria of your
muscle cells where they serve as a substrate for energy production while
sparing muscle glycogen.
Carnitine deficiency causes the fatty acids to back up and accumulate in the blood ultimately resulting in additional deposition
of fat, usually right in the areas where you already have the greatest
accumulation. L-Carnitine works synergistically with branched chain amino
acids to increase their net metabolism. Remember that the BCAA's are the
major amino acid constituents of your muscles.
An increase in the amino acid content of the muscle will result in, at the very least, increased muscular hardness and possibly new muscle tissue. To sum up, L-Carnitine increases the utilization of fats for energy, sparing glycogen and amino acids. In essence, L-Carnitine shifts your fuel source utilization towards fats, leaving your amino acids and glycogen free to build muscle.
Important Facts Regarding L-Carnitine
Supplementation
Research indicates the minimum dosage to minimize muscle catabolism while accelerating fat loss is 1000-1200 milligrams daily, divided into
two doses. The dosage research proven most effective is 2-4 grams (2000-4000
mg) in 3-6 daily doses at three to six hour intervals. L-Carnitine is most
effective taken on an empty stomach with water at least 45 minutes prior
to eating and again 45 minutes prior to training.
To maximize the effect of Carnitine on the metabolism of branch chained
amino acids take 1200 mg L-Carnitine with a handful of BCAA's thirty minutes after
training. You won't believe how quickly you'll recover. Cycle your L-Carnitine
supplementation, 2-3 weeks on, 1-2 weeks off. L-Carnitine is non toxic
but most people experience the fat loss benefits for only two or three
weeks at a time due to the body's adaptation.
We always use Lean Out, 4 per day, in the off season to help keep fats and cholesterol mobile in the body and to cleanse the liver. Starting at twelve weeks out we double the Lean Out dose to 8 per day. At eight weeks out we go up to 12 per day. Then at 4 - 5 weeks, we drop the Lean Out back to 4 per day and add in the Energy Reserve as indicated above.
