L-carnitine, or vitamin BT, is a white crystalline white transparent fine powder. The study of carnitine began in the early 20th century. In 1905, Russians discovered L-carnitine from meat extracts. Since then, scientists from various countries have conducted in-depth research. Early studies found that L-carnitine is a vitamin and named it vitamin BT. The chemical structure of the alkali is similar to choline, which is close to amino acids. In addition, since some animals can synthesize carnitine by themselves to meet the needs of carnitine, carnitine is not considered a vitamin, but it is customary to call it vitamin BT. At the International Nutrition Academic Conference held in Chicago in 1985, L-carnitine was designated as a "multifunctional nutrient."
The weight loss principle of L-carnitine
In cells, the basic function of L-carnitine is to act as a carrier to transport fatty acids from outside mitochondria into the inner membrane of mitochondria. Because fatty acids (and other energy substances) can only be oxidized and release energy in mitochondria, fatty acids outside mitochondria cannot be oxidized and release energy.
Therefore, it is easy to give people the illusion that L-carnitine is the key to fat oxidation. But in fact, L-carnitine is just a carrier, like a car for transporting fat. As for how much fat is consumed, it does not depend on L-carnitine. This is like the bricks needed to build a building are transported by car, but the number of bricks consumed in building a building does not depend on the number of cars, but on the size and structure of the building. Simply put, if the amount of exercise (energy consumption) is not large and the fat consumption is not much, just increasing L-carnitine will not increase the oxidation of fat and energy supply, so it will not help with weight loss. Under normal circumstances (the amount of exercise is not very large), the human body will synthesize enough L-carnitine by itself, and there will be no problem with L-carnitine deficiency. Only when the amount of exercise is large, such as athletes or fitness people, the energy consumption per unit of time is high, and the "flow" of fat oxidation energy supply is large, the situation of "relative deficiency" of L-carnitine synthesis may occur. At this time, taking additional L-carnitine, expanding the scale of the transport fleet (carrier), and delivering more bricks (fatty acids) to the construction site (mitochondria) per unit of time will help to oxidize and consume more fat. Therefore, taking L-carnitine will only help lose weight when the amount of exercise is large. At this time, a lot of exercise is still the key to weight loss, and carnitine only plays an auxiliary role. If the amount of exercise is not large, such as just dieting to lose weight, taking L-carnitine will not affect weight loss.
Application of L-carnitine
Infant food: L-carnitine is a conditional nutrient for infants. Currently, 22 countries in the world have added L-carnitine to infant formula.
Weight loss effect: L-carnitine can burn excess body fat as energy. It can reduce weight and reduce the amount of body fat and has a weight loss effect. If the body lacks L-carnitine, it will cause fatty acid metabolism disorders, leading to two consequences. (1) It causes insufficient energy supply to muscles, resulting in muscle fatigue and related heart diseases: (2) It causes lipid substances to accumulate in muscle fibers and liver, resulting in obesity, fatty liver, and other diseases. Obese people who do not exercise enough can consume the accumulated fatty acids in the body by regularly supplementing L-carnitine and maintaining exercise, which can play a role in weight loss. Therefore, L-carnitine is an ideal weight loss product that does not require dieting, anorexia, fatigue, or diarrhea.
Athlete food: L-carnitine is beneficial for improving sports explosiveness, resisting fatigue, and enhancing sports endurance. Taking a certain amount of L-carnitine, athletes can achieve the best results when participating in endurance and strength sports. Studies have shown that the concentration of free carnitine in human muscle tissue decreases by 20% after physical exercise, which can be improved by supplementing exogenous L-carnitine, thereby promoting the oxidation of fatty acids in the body to produce energy and improve athletic performance. L-carnitine has been widely used in sports health foods abroad.
Important nutritional supplements for the human body: With the increase of age, the content of L-carnitine in the body is constantly decreasing, and humans need to supplement L-carnitine. Diabetics, renal patients, and mental and physical laborers, due to the large amount of waste discharged, the consumption of L-carnitine in the body is large, which can easily lead to L-carnitine deficiency and require long-term supplementation.
