Does L-carnitine really burns the fat?

I am glad you asked this as it caused me to research it. Here is the answer from wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnitine

"Although L-carnitine has been marketed as a weight-loss supplement, there is no scientific evidence to date to show that it improves weight loss. A recent study of moderately overweight women found that L-carnitine did not significantly alter body weight, body fat, or lean body mass. Based on the results of this one small study, claims that L-carnitine helps reduce weight are not supported at this time." [13]

Regular supplements of L-carnitine, however, contribute to energy metabolism and improved neurotransmitter function in the brain in elderly.[14

Then why are they advertising that you will lose weight.... that just such a false advertisement.

L-Carnitine DOES help you burn fat.
What the commercial products DON'T tell you is that you already have enough of that from your daily meals and you don't need more because you'd only pee your excess L-Carnitine (like how you pee excess Vitamin C).

You're actually getting FATTER with these L-Carnitine stuff if you're drinking them instead of water since water is the best for detoxification and has ZERO calories whereas L-Carnitine-packed drinks vary from 150-350 calories per bottle.

Thanks for the response on my discussion!

L-carnitine is one of a few substances that exist in our body in the manufacture of ATP molecules, which explain why you have the energy. It is not that it burns the fat, but an essential ingredient in helping our body generating energy hence giving us more energy to stay active n work out.

I don't know if this carnitine or substance is available in herbs. I talked to an online friend before and she told me that some traditional herbs enable women to get slimmer bodies. I was curious as to whether it is really effective since she happened to mention it.

Perhaps there is the underlying truth to all these. But I still think that metabolism is the main culprit for those fats burning fast or not. The only tip I know that I could provide for you is to drink lots of green tea. It is good for your health and helps for slimness as well.

I researched on this and I can assure that it will NOT help you in any way to lose weight/burn fat. The L-Carnitine ads are banking on one specific fact: that L-Carnitine is essential in burning fat. What they don't tell you is that you don't actually get this benefit by eating/drinking their products. Read more on http://canihascheeseburge...
