L-Carnitine, L-Arginine, Beta Alanine and GABA in SodaBurn
An L-carnitine supplement, an L-arginine supplement, beta alanine, GABA, L-tyrosine, L-glutamine and L-tryptophan make up seven names near the end of the SodaBurn blend. By label order each weighs at most 1.10 mg per 1 ml. Studies of these amino acids used grams, so the label amounts are far smaller.

The seven names
Which amino acids are in SodaBurn?
SodaBurn lists seven amino acid names: L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta alanine, GABA, L-tryptophan and L-carnitine HCl. They hold places 14 to 21, except place 18, a licorice salt.
FDA lists blend names by weight, heaviest first (21 CFR 101.36, Proprietary blends). These sit in the lightest tail. The label prints no amount for any of them.

The two with the most research
What do L-carnitine and L-arginine supplement studies show?
Studies of an L-carnitine supplement and an L-arginine supplement used gram doses. The most each could weigh in SodaBurn is thousands of times lower.
L-carnitine HCl
A 2016 review of nine trials found about 1.3 kg more loss than placebo, shrinking with longer use (Pooyandjoo 2016, Carnitine meta-analysis). Around 3 g a day can cause nausea, cramps and a fishy body odor (NIH ODS, Carnitine).
L-arginine
NIH calls arginine evidence limited and conflicting, with trials at 2 to 20 g a day (NIH ODS, Exercise and performance supplements).
| Name | SodaBurn ceiling | Amount in research | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| L-arginine | 0.97 mg | 2,000 mg and up | At least 2,000 times |
| L-carnitine HCl | 0.74 mg | 3,000 mg (stomach effects) | About 4,000 times |
The middle of the list
Does beta alanine, glutamine or L-tyrosine supplement use have support?
Support is thin or missing. Beta alanine trials conflict, glutamine alone is not backed, and for L-tyrosine we found no source we could read.
Beta alanine
NIH reports conflicting trials. Tingling of the skin is common at higher doses (NIH ODS, Exercise and performance supplements).
L-glutamine
NIH says research to date does not support taking glutamine alone to improve exercise performance (NIH ODS, Exercise and performance supplements).
L-tyrosine
We found no source we could read, so we offer no study dose.
Calm and sleep names
What should you know about a GABA supplement and L-tryptophan?
We found no source we could read for GABA or L-tryptophan, so we will not guess at their effects.
GABA is a brain messenger also sold as a supplement. L-tryptophan helps the body make serotonin. If you take an antidepressant or a sleep medicine, ask your pharmacist first.
Arginine adds its own warning. It can lower blood pressure and blood sugar, and it interacts with blood thinners, nitrates and sildenafil (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine).

Who should ask a doctor first?
Anyone who takes medicine, is pregnant or nursing, or has a medical condition should ask. Never stop prescribed medicine for a supplement.
- Ask first with diabetes medicine, blood thinners, blood pressure or heart medicine, stimulants, seizure medicine (some lower carnitine levels), or liver or kidney disease.
- Chest pain, trouble breathing, fainting or a racing heartbeat that will not settle: call 911. Yellow skin or eyes, dark urine or pain under the right ribs: see a doctor right away.
Weight care rests on eating, activity, sleep and stress care at 1 to 2 pounds a week (CDC, Steps for losing weight).
