What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
Four separate pooled analyses agree L-carnitine improves liver enzymes, blood lipids and insulin resistance.
The shuttle that carries fat into the furnace: four separate pooled analyses agree it improves liver enzymes, blood lipids and insulin resistance.
The carrier that ferries fatty acids into the mitochondria to be spent: carnitine also speeds muscle repair and sharpens insulin, fasting included.
Across five randomized trials, L-carnitine cut the odds of muscle cramps by nearly four fifths.
The mitochondrial fuel-shuttle of the epididymis — L-carnitine loads the energy sperm burn for motility; a placebo-controlled double-blind randomized trial raised sperm motility, strongest where it began lowest.
L-carnitine ferries fatty acids into the mitochondria to be burned; meta-analyses show it lowers body weight, BMI, HbA1c and LDL — mobilizing the fat obesogens drive into storage.
