Does L carnetine help you lose weight? what about the injections?
14 مارس 2013

د. Ivana Dabaj طب الأطفال والأمراض العصبية
L carnitine is a medication that we use for people with metabolic diseases. It helps the mitochondria to generate the energy IN CASE OF CARNITINE DEFICIENCY. In some other specific cases and diseases it helps in a better metabolism.
It does NOT help in loosing weight because it does not accelerate the metabolism of your body to metabolize fat (lipids). There is absolutely no indication for supplements of L-carnitine for weight loss.

L carnitine was advocated as a medication to help burning fat and hence losing weight, but there is no evidence to show that it is quite effective. As for the injections, I don't know which ones you are talking about but there are ones currently in the market that are actually used in the treatment if diabetis, and were found to cause weight loss. The recommendation so far is not use them purely for weight loss purposes
