Recovery isn't just muscle. It's metabolism.

Lean-ergy pairs 1,500 mg of L-Carnitine with green tea leaf extract. Below is the published research on both ingredients, sorted by who you are and how you train. We've included the studies that found no effect, because you should see those too.

01 · How it works

Two jobs. One shot.

Your cells use fatty acids as fuel inside the mitochondria, the engines in your cells. Long-chain fatty acids can't get in on their own. L-Carnitine helps transport them there.

1

Fatty acids

Long-chain fatty acids are fuel your body can use, but they can't cross into the mitochondria by themselves.

2

The shuttle

L-Carnitine carries them across the mitochondrial membrane, working with an enzyme called CPT.

LC
3

Energy

Inside, the fatty acids are broken down into usable energy for training and everyday life.

Where green tea comes in

Green tea's catechins, mainly EGCG, are studied for their role in fat oxidation.13 One proposed mechanism: EGCG may lower malonyl-CoA, a molecule that normally holds CPT back. Less brake on CPT could mean the L-Carnitine shuttle runs more freely.14

How much is in a shot

Most cited trials used 1–3 g a day. Lean-ergy's 1,500 mg sits toward the lower end of that range.

Lean-ergy 1.5 g
PMOS trials 1 g
Recovery trials 2 g

Shaded band: the 1–3 g/day range used in most trials.

Safety: check with your doctor if

  • You have a heart condition or take regular medication. Long-term L-Carnitine use can raise TMAO, a compound still being studied for heart health.20
  • You're pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive. Speak to your doctor before using it.
  • You're managing PCOS or menopause with medication. Lean-ergy is a functional shot, not a medicine or a treatment for any condition.
  • It's for a child. Lean-ergy is not intended for children.

Why we read all of this

My dad used it for marathon training. My mum used it for yoga.

Seeing one ingredient fit two very different routines in the same house is why we went looking for the research behind it. This page is what we found, including the parts that don't flatter the product.

One family's story, not a clinical result. Everyone's experience is different, and it isn't a substitute for advice from your doctor.

Read the studies yourself

    Educational, not medical advice. This page summarises published research on L-Carnitine and green tea leaf extract. The studies tested these as ingredients; Lean-ergy itself has not been clinically tested. Lean-ergy is a functional shot. It doesn't diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and it isn't a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

    Make it a daily habit

    One shot a day. 18 shots in the 3 Week Stack, or 30 in the Monthly Stack.
