Supports Weight Loss
L-carnitine is instrumental in energy and glucose metabolism, and its role in the fatty acid oxidation process burns fats and carbohydrates, which is why it can be a useful weight loss tool.
L-Carnitine is a non-essential amino acid found in high concentrations in human heart and liver tissue, where it participates in metabolizing fatty acids into energy by the mitochondria. L-Carnitine also facilitates the metabolism of carbohydrates and enhances the rate of oxidative phosphorylation (ATP or energy production). L-Carnitine works synergistically with CO-Q10, an antioxidant found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria to increase cellular oxygenation. It also improves weight loss by increasing the use of fat as an energy source. Carnitine has also been shown to reduce serum lipid levels.
