Food supplies it too, almost exclusively through animal products: red meat is by far the richest source, hence its name, taken from the Latin \u003cem\u003ecarnis\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts biological role is well established: it carries long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, where they are broken down to produce energy. Without carnitine, that transport does not happen. It is this mechanism, a real one, that gave the product its reputation — and we shall see below why you should be wary of drawing hasty conclusions from it.

L-carnitine tartrate is a salt: the carnitine molecule is bound to tartaric acid to stabilise the powder. Out of 2,000 mg of salt, around 68% is genuinely usable carnitine. When a label states “2,000 mg of L-carnitine tartrate”, it is accurate, but it is not saying the same thing as “2,000 mg of L-carnitine”. Here the manufacturer publishes both values, which does it credit and allows an honest comparison with other products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCarnipure\u003c\/strong\u003e mention refers to the origin of the raw material, that of a specialist Swiss manufacturer. It is traceability information that the manufacturer prints on the label; we report it as such, without turning it into an efficacy argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the regulatory side, the position is clear: \u003cstrong\u003eno health claim is authorised in Europe for L-carnitine.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not on weight loss, not on fat metabolism, not on endurance, not on recovery. Its role as a mitochondrial transporter is an established fact of physiology; what oral supplementation changes in a healthy adult who already eats meat is another matter entirely, and one with no validated answer. The previous version of this page promised increased fat oxidation and support during a cutting phase, and announced limited stock to rush the purchase: those passages have been removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIngredients list\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-carnitine tartrate (Carnipure), anti-caking agent (magnesium stearate), capsule shell (\u003cstrong\u003eGELATINE\u003c\/strong\u003e).

Take them one after the other with a large glass of water rather than together: that is the only practical difficulty with this product, and it is solved in ten seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe capsule format is a genuine advantage here over the liquid format\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is very common for this molecule. Liquid carnitine ampoules travel badly, open up inside bags and often contain flavourings and sweeteners you can do without. A bottle of capsules slips into a gym bag with no risk, and the dose does not vary from one intake to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer recommends courses of 6 to 8 weeks with a week off. One bottle covers a month: count on two bottles for a full course, then. On days without training, the dose is taken in the morning on an empty stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product contains neither caffeine nor any stimulant. It can therefore be taken late in the day with no consequence for sleep, which is not the case for most of the products in our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-de-graisse\"\u003efat burners\u003c\/a\u003e aisle. It combines without difficulty with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteines\"\u003eprotein\u003c\/a\u003e or an \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/omega-3\"\u003eomega 3\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is Carni3000 for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is of interest above all to two profiles. The first: people whose diet supplies little or no red meat — vegetarians, vegans, or simply heavy eaters of poultry and fish — in whom dietary carnitine intake is structurally low. The second: those who want a product with no caffeine, because they are already sensitive to stimulants or because they train in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne important reservation for the first profile, however: the capsule shell is gelatine, of animal origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e A strict vegetarian will therefore not be able to use it, which is a regrettable paradox for a product that would make particular sense in their case. We are flagging it rather than leaving the discovery for when the bottle is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer \u003cstrong\u003eadvises against it for pregnant and breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e, asks that it be \u003cstrong\u003ekept out of the reach of children\u003c\/strong\u003e and that you \u003cstrong\u003econsult a healthcare professional if you are on medical treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The product may contain traces of gluten, egg, fish, soya and milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat not to expect from it, and this is the point on which we are most direct: \u003cstrong\u003ethis is not a fat burner.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a healthy person who eats meat, muscle carnitine stores are already close to their maximum, and muscle takes up circulating carnitine very poorly. No capsule creates a calorie deficit. If your goal is weight loss, diet and physical activity do all the work, and our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/perte-du-poids\"\u003eweight loss\u003c\/a\u003e aisle will not change that rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCarnitine or a burner with caffeine, which should you choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two cross paths in the same cutting-phase basket, and they do not do the same thing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conventional \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-en-gelules\"\u003ecapsule burner\u003c\/a\u003e relies mainly on caffeine, sometimes combined with green tea or cayenne pepper. Its effect is noticeable: heightened alertness, a sense of energy, appetite often somewhat blunted. It is that sensation which explains its success, and it is real — but it comes from a stimulant, with the drawbacks that go with it: tolerance building up, disrupted sleep if taken late, palpitations in sensitive people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarnitine, on the other hand, is not felt at all. No noticeable effect, no kick, no effect on appetite. It is the better choice if you want to avoid stimulants, if you train late, or if you already drink a lot of coffee during the day. It is also the most honest thing to recommend to someone who already has three sources of caffeine in their routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your priority is a stimulant-free product that you can nonetheless feel, look instead at our plant-based \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleur-de-graisse-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free burners\u003c\/a\u003e. And if you are already stacking several supplements, ask yourself about the total: three products doing half the same job cost more than a single well-chosen one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 2,000 mg of tartrate but 1,360 mg of carnitine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause L-carnitine tartrate is a salt: the carnitine is bound to tartaric acid, which stabilises the powder. Around 68% of the salt is usable carnitine, that is 1,360 mg for 2,000 mg of tartrate. Both values are accurate, but only the second lets you compare two products with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould it be taken before or after training?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer states 30 minutes before the session, and in the morning on an empty stomach on rest days. This is a daily product: consistency matters more than the precise timing, since it produces no noticeable effect in the hour that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these capsules suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The shell is gelatine, of animal origin. That is all the more unfortunate given that vegetarians are precisely the profile in whom dietary carnitine intake is lowest, red meat being the main source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExactly 30 days: 90 capsules, three per dose, one dose a day. Since the manufacturer recommends courses of 6 to 8 weeks, count on two bottles to see a full course through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it make you lose weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and no claim of that kind is authorised in Europe for L-carnitine. The product does not create a calorie deficit and does not alter appetite. It may accompany an effort, it never replaces one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there any caffeine in it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone. The formula contains only carnitine tartrate, an anti-caking agent and the capsule shell. That is what makes it possible to take it late in the day with no consequence for sleep, unlike most products in this aisle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be combined with a conventional burner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing stands in the way as far as composition goes, since the ingredients do not overlap. The real question is whether it is useful: adding together two products that do not act in the same place is expensive for a benefit that is hard to measure. Start with one and judge for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to buy IO Genix Carni3000?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 90-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe.
