What is Gamma-Butyrobetaine ethyl ester chloride (GBB-EEC) and Will It Help you Lose Weight?

You wanna know what GBB-EEC is? Did you see it on your supplement label or weight loss label? Or are you wondering what is it doing for you?

GBB-EEC Helps Your Body Make Carnitine!
Gamma-butyrobetaine ethyl ester chloride is the precursor to L-carnitine production in the body. So when you take it, it increases the production of carnitine in your hot bod.
So, Gamma-Butyrobetaine hydroxylase (BBOX) is the converter of Gamma-butyrobetaine ethyl ester chloride into carnitine. Carnitine creates energy from fatty acids.
That’s what Gamma-butyrobetaine ethyl ester chloride is and yes, technically, it can help with weight loss.
That’s it.

Carnitine : Burns Fat, Reduces Cholesterol and Boosts Energy
The liver and kidneys make carnitine from lysine and methionine. Add a sprinkle of a couple vitamins and some catalyzing reactions and you get carnitine.
Carnitine is concentrated in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues. These tissues utilize fatty acids as fuel.
Carnitine’s main purpose is to transport fatty acids into cell mitochondria so they can be oxidized and used for energy.
L-Carnitine is shown to:
·         Increase lipolysis.
·         Reduce cholesterol.
·         Increase energy.
Carnitine is mainly responsible for converting fatty acids into energy. Better than fatty acids just sitting around getting fatty-er, right? Right-o.
When the body needs energy, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) release fatty acids. L-Carnitine acts as an Uber and transports those fatty acids to cells and across membranes they otherwise couldn’t cross without carnitine.
As a result, fatty acids are oxidized.

For those who prefer science books with pics take a look-see at what fatty acid oxidation looks like:

Taking Gamma-Butyrobetaine ethyl ester chloride (GBB-EEC)  Instead of Carnitine

So, now that you know GBB-EEC helps make carnitine, why not just take carnitine?

Because, taking 100mg of GBB-EEC is equal to taking about 3,000 mg of carnitine.

Plus, by supplementing with GBB-EEC, studies show it can increase carnitine concentrations in the body by up to 300 percent.
