Is taking L-carnitine effective?
L-carnitine was all the rage. It is said that its weight loss effect is excessive and it will not rebound. So are these true? Next, I'll tell you if taking L-carnitine has any effect.

1. First: Recently, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce exposed five kinds of food advertisements such as "Ximu L-carnitine milk tea", exaggerating the efficacy of the products and seriously violating the advertising laws and regulations. The industry and commerce department has ordered it to stop publishing. However, the reporter saw that there are still a large number of such false advertisements on the Internet, such as "L-carnitine can transform fat meat into lean meat", "L-carnitine is suitable for lazy people to lose weight" and "L-carnitine consumes excess fat". The US Food and Drug Administration in Guangzhou warned that these statements are incorrect and do not conform to the most basic physiological and biochemical common sense.

2. Second: L-carnitine is not a diet pill. Taking L-carnitine can only help you lose weight if you exercise a lot. Proper exercise and reasonable diet are still the key to lose weight, and carnitine only plays an auxiliary role.

3. Third: L-carnitine is an amino acid that can convert fat into energy. The principle of weight loss is that the metabolism of fat goes through a barrier, and mitochondria are outside the barrier, which can burn fat, convert it into energy and be consumed by the body.

Matters needing attention

Therefore, the weight loss theory of L-carnitine is not established. Those girls who want to lose weight are more reliable in exercising honestly, and don't think about taking shortcuts.
