Introduction
Carnitine is an amino acid composite that is made from Lysine and Methionine, It is usually normally produced in the body. L-Carnitine supplements are used to increase the L-carnitine levels in people with low levels of carnitine naturally. This can be because of a genetic disorder, side effects of some certain drugs (e.g. Valporic acid used for seizures) or because of some certain surgical procedures that uses the L-carnitine produced in the body (e.g. Haemodialysis). L-carnitine is particularly needed in the diet of low weight or premature infants, vegetarians and dieters.

INTRODUCTION
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They are compounds containing at least a carboxylic acid group and an amino group. In other words, proteins are polymers of amino acids with each amino acid residue joined to its neighbor by a specific type of covalent bond which we refer to as peptide bonds. Amino acids are classified physiologically into Essential and Non-Essential amino acids; Non-essential amino acids are synthesized or made by the body and are almost always available when needed but essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and therefore must be supplied by the diet. Essential amino acids include Glycine, Alanine, Serine, Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Threonine and three of these essential amino acids are further classified as the Branched Chain Amino Acids Pharmaceutical drugs are chemicals that are designed to prevent, diagnose, treat or cure a disorder. In laymen terms, we simply call them medicines. Pharmaceutical products commonly known as medicines or drugs are a fundamental component of both modern and traditional medicine. It is essential that such products are safe, effective and of good quality, they are prescribed and used rationally.
Why The scale is not enough proof in your fitness journey Weight loss goals are significant. Your goals of wearing a particular size or seeing a specific number on the scale are also important. If it comes to losing weight, the scale can be a good gauge of progress, particularly if you have much weight to lose. However, if you place too much importance on your weight and not enough on your body structure (the ratio of fat to lean muscle), you are only getting half the story. Plus, fearing your weigh-in or obsessing over the number on the scale is unproductive and can lead to unhealthy behaviours such as starving yourself. Losing pounds does not always mean losing fat.
