In fact, the basic function of L-carnitine is only as a carrier, transporting fatty acids from outside the
mitochondria into the inner mitochondrial membrane, and then the fatty acids in the mitochondria are oxidized and release energy. However, even if the fat is "transported" into the mitochondria by L-carnitine, but it is not oxidized, it still cannot be consumed. And only when aerobic exercise is combined, fat can be oxidized and converted into energy. In other words, the prerequisite for L-carnitine to play a weight loss effect is to cooperate with aerobic exercise.
Therefore, a lot of exercise is still the key to weight loss, L-carnitine plays a role in accelerating fat burning. If the amount of exercise (energy consumption) is not large and the fat consumption is not much, just increasing the L-carnitine will not increase the oxidation function of fat, so it will not help weight loss. Therefore, taking L-carnitine before aerobic exercises such as running, skipping rope, and swimming can help you lose weight.
