FUSION: F-CARNITINE

L-Carnitine is a compound consisting of two essential amino acids, lysine and methionine, that naturally occur in cells and play a role in lipid metabolism for muscles. The most well-known function of carnitine is its essential role in transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for beta-oxidation, which is crucial for lipid metabolism and energy production in the myocardium and muscles.

A deficiency in L-Carnitine prevents fats from being transported to the mitochondria for energy production. This can result in the accumulation of fat and the appearance of cellulite. Conversely, having sufficient levels of L-Carnitine can help burn fat, resulting in weight loss, increased energy levels, and improved resistance to cold and fatigue.

L-Carnitine is sometimes used in mesotherapy as an ingredient in injections to target localized fat deposits and promote fat loss. The idea behind using L-Carnitine in mesotherapy is that it can help transport fatty acids into cells to be burned for energy, which can result in a reduction in fat accumulation. Some practitioners also believe that L-Carnitine can help improve skin texture and tone.
