It is recommended as a supplement, combined with <a href=\"\/en#services\/\">effective training<\/a> and a good diet, if your goal is weight loss.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"247\" data-end=\"293\">Does L-carnitine help with weight loss?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"294\" data-end=\"479\">L-carnitine helps transport fatty acids to the mitochondria to produce energy. This is why it is often found in fat-burning supplements due to its effect on increasing fat metabolism.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"535\">What are the benefits of carnitine in the body?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"575\">Carnitine offers many benefits as it:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"577\" data-end=\"762\">\n<li data-start=\"577\" data-end=\"607\">Promotes energy production<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"625\">Aids recovery<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"626\" data-end=\"654\">Supports muscle function<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"696\">Strengthens the cardiovascular system<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"762\">Helps transport more fatty acids into cells to produce energy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"764\" data-end=\"804\">When and how to take L-carnitine?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"963\">A recommended dosage is 2 to 3 g per day. We suggest taking it with food, before, or after training. It is also preferable to combine it with carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"965\" data-end=\"968\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"984\">Creatine<\/h3>\n<h4 data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"1037\">What effects does creatine have on the body?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1234\">Have you ever heard someone say that creatine is a doping product? That it\u2019s bad for the kidneys and can cause water retention? That creatine harms health? If so, know that none of this is true!<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1272\">What is the role of creatine?<\/h4>\n<ul data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1444\">\n<li data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1304\">Essential for ATP synthesis<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1305\" data-end=\"1362\">Increases recovery speed between weight training sets<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1363\" data-end=\"1401\">Improves muscle strength and power<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"1426\">Promotes muscle gain<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1427\" data-end=\"1444\">Aids recovery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1496\">When and how much creatine should you take?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1584\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">If you want to learn more or know the recommended daily dose for you, <a href=\"\/en\/contact-us#formulaire\/\">consult our team<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"14\">Collagen<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"16\" data-end=\"296\">Collagen has become a popular supplement for individuals looking to rejuvenate or maintain their appearance in recent years. While collagen supplementation is far from magical, it still offers several benefits beyond its effects on the skin. Is it the new anti-aging supplement?<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"298\" data-end=\"334\">What is the role of collagen?<\/h4>\n<ul data-start=\"335\" data-end=\"481\">\n<li data-start=\"335\" data-end=\"363\">Improves skin elasticity<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"364\" data-end=\"390\">Helps hydrate the skin<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"391\" data-end=\"418\">Promotes dermal density<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"419\" data-end=\"440\">Reduces cellulite<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"441\" data-end=\"481\">Supports hair, nail, and bone health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"483\" data-end=\"518\">Is it good to take collagen?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"519\" data-end=\"759\">In addition to the benefits mentioned above, collagen may also have a positive effect on joint pain for some people. However, a combined supplementation of omega-3 and curcumin would likely be more effective in improving these conditions.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"806\">Is it good to take collagen every day?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"868\">A recommended dosage of hydrolyzed collagen is 10g per day.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"873\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"875\" data-end=\"889\">Curcumin<\/h3>\n<h4 data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"951\">What is the difference between curcumin and turmeric?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"952\" data-end=\"1179\">We all know turmeric as a spice used in cooking. However, few people are aware that its main compound, curcumin, has numerous benefits that make it a great supplement. So, why take turmeric or curcumin? The answers are below.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1181\" data-end=\"1222\">What are the benefits of curcumin?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1658\">Did you know that the curcuminoids found in turmeric are among the most powerful natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatories? In addition to these properties, curcumin has a beneficial effect on people suffering from joint pain, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, digestive issues, water retention, cellulite, and even anxiety. It is also an excellent supplement for improving muscle recovery after a workout and enhancing performance.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1660\" data-end=\"1708\">What is the best way to consume turmeric?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"1913\">To ensure you choose the right curcumin supplement, opt for one with the highest bioavailability. Curcumin, when combined with piperine, increases absorption by nearly 2,000%, according to some studies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1915\" data-end=\"1995\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">If you have more questions, <a href=\"\/en\/contact-us#formulaire\/\">contact us before starting this amazing supplement<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carnitine What is the role of carnitine?
