Carnitine Plus Biotin

Brilliant formula designed by world-renown nutritionist Robert Crayhon, who wrote The Carnitine Miracle. Carnitine may enhance fat burning even in people with adequate carnitine levels, and is definitely advised for people on very low carb diets. Biotin is needed for glucose metabolism, not to mention nail and skin health.

Carnitine and biotin work together clinically for the nutritional support of the biochemical disturbances that can occur in metabolic syndrome, weight loss, and type ll diabetes.

While carnitine supports fat burning it may also increase gluconeogenesis — the making of sugar from non-carbohydrate sources — which could raise blood sugar (and insulin). Biotin inhibits this and works to control blood sugar, a good thing in any case with people who have blood sugar/insulin issues.

Most multiple vitamins include only tiny amounts of biotin, but this carnitine-biotin combo supplement gives you 500mg of carnitine (from the tartrate form, the best there is) as well as a full gram of biotin for each capsule. Three capsules give you a meaningful 1500mg of carnitine with a whopping 3 mg of biotin.

Recommendations: To support weight loss, 2-6 capsules daily. Also recommended for pregnancy, and as part of a nutritional support program for diabetes and pre-diabetes (metabolic syndrome.)

Warnings: May reduce need or dosage requirement for SSRI medications: Discuss with health practitioner.
