These are products formulated with ingredients such as L-carnitine, CLA, MCTs, fibre or botanical extracts. They are intended to complement nutrition and exercise routines rather than replace them.
L-carnitine is a compound involved in transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, where they can be used in energy metabolism. It is commonly included in sports nutrition and weight-management products.
CLA is a type of fatty acid found naturally in certain foods, while MCT oil contains medium-chain triglycerides. They have different nutritional properties and are used in different supplement formulations.
Usage depends on the ingredient and product formulation. Follow the serving instructions on the label, and consider the product’s ingredients when planning your daily routine.
Check the ingredient list, serving quantities, stimulant content and recommended use. Choose a product that fits your nutritional goals and existing routine, and seek professional guidance if you take medication or have an underlying health condition.
