1, L-carnitine
L-carnitine is a substance that can be secreted by human body, and it is also a key substance in the process of fat metabolism. It can promote fatty acids in the body to enter mitochondria for oxidative decomposition.
The function of L-carnitine can be described as follows. L-carnitine is like a coal truck, and its body fat is like coal. The mitochondria mentioned above are power plants. Excess fat in the body is transported to mitochondria through L-carnitine, which is consumed and converted into energy through exercise, thus achieving the purpose of losing weight.
Although the human body can synthesize a small amount of L-carnitine by itself, it is far from enough for obese people and needs extra supplement. Generally speaking, the adverse reactions in the process of taking L-carnitine are relatively small, but it is impossible to lose weight simply by taking L-carnitine, and it is necessary to cooperate with some professional sports or outdoor sports after taking L-carnitine for about an hour. It is best to take it with conjugated linoleic acid to accelerate fat burning.
2. orlistat
Orlistat is a drug suitable for simple obese people. Now many health products are sold in shopping malls or pharmacies, so many obese people or friends who want to exercise want to know the weight loss principle of this product.
You can learn more about the role of orlistat from Baidu's entry. Orlistat, English name, is a drug for treating obesity. It acts on the gastrointestinal tract instead of inhibiting the central nervous system. By inhibiting lipase in gastrointestinal tract, it can prevent triacylglycerol from hydrolyzing into free fatty acids and monoglycerides, reduce the absorption of dietary fat (triacylglycerol) by intestinal mucosa, and promote the excretion of fat from the body.
To put it bluntly, orlistat is to make the lipase that digests food in the stomach lose its function, so that the body can't absorb the fat in food normally, and it can play a role in losing weight for a long time.
2. Can L-carnitine and orlistat be eaten together?
Bian Xiao doesn't recommend buying orlistat, let alone eating it with L-carnitine. Although orlistat has the function of losing weight, it mainly acts on the gastrointestinal tract, which has certain stimulation and even damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa. Therefore, patients with gastrointestinal malabsorption or chronic gastroenteritis should use it with caution. If you want to promote the rapid decomposition of food, you can choose other safe alternative products without side effects, such as digestive enzymes, apple vinegar, probiotics and so on. And the effect is good.
L-carnitine is the main weight loss product in recent years. As a dietary supplement, L-carnitine acts on body fat, and Bioli stat is more extensive and safer. Of course, there are differences in the degree of obesity among different people, and the specific choice direction is also quite different. It is recommended to decide the choice according to your own situation and consider consulting a doctor if necessary.
What are the foods rich in L-carnitine?
L-carnitine in diet mainly comes from animals, and the content in plants is very small.
Animal sources: Rich sources include lean meat, liver, heart, yeast, mutton, chicken, rabbit meat, milk and whey.
Plant source: avocado, kiwi fruit, raisin, papaya, lemon, aloe, lotus leaf, Pu 'er tea, casein and malt. Among a few alpine fruits in Taiwan Province Province.
Red meat is the main source of L-carnitine, which has no toxic and side effects on human body. Different types of daily diets already contain 5- 100 mg of L-carnitine, but the average person can only take 50 mg from the diet every day, even less for vegetarians.
The main physiological function of L-carnitine is to promote the conversion of fat into energy. Taking L-carnitine can reduce fat and weight without reducing water and muscle. In 2003, it was recognized as the safest nutritional supplement with no side effects by the International Organization for Obesity and Health.
