Ingredients
L-Carnitine Fumate
L-Carnitine is an amino acid which is said to speed up fat loss.
Studies, however, are inconclusive (1).
Combining carnitine with fumaric acid gives it an energy enhancing effect.
L-Carnitine Tartrate
L-Carnitine Tartrate combines the ester tartrate to carnitine.
This combination helps with the transport of fatty acids in the mitochondria (2).
Acetyl L-Carnitine
Acetyl L-Carnitine is an acetylated form of carnitine.
It boosts mitochondrial energy production, as well as improving focus and mental performance.
Who Takes It?
Viper Carnitine is taken by bodybuilders and athletes wanting to boost their training energy and fat loss.
How To Take It?
Mix one scoop (4 grams) of Viper Carnitine with 200 ml of water and take it 30 minutes before your workout.
If taken for fat loss, have another serving first thing in the morning.
Side Effects
Some people have a nauseous reaction to carnitine.
This may include vomiting and stomach upset.
Acetyl-l-carnitine can also produce a fishy odor in a person’s urine, breath and sweat.
Pros:
- Stimulant free energy source
- Pure creatine
Cons:
- Little scientific backing
Conclusion
Viper Carnitine 3X combines three high quality carnitine ingredients for a stimulant free energy boost.
With nothing but carnitine used, however, the energy potential is limited. Using a multi-ingredient product will give you a greater effect.
