Being overweight does no good but brings much harm to health as well as social and professional life. Since the issue of being overweight is increasing day by day, the researchers are also trying hard to find newer and undisclosed ways to deal with obesity and one of the weight loss methods is the use of L-carnitine. It has become quite popular to include L-carnitine in weight loss products and even sell it as a fat burner. However, very few people really know its effects or how it works.

L-carnitine is an amino acid that is formed in the liver, brain and kidneys, and is housed in various parts of the body, where it is used to remove fat. It is used extensively in the heart muscle and brain, where fats are the main source of energy.

It is a substance due to which fat consumption becomes more efficient thus acting like a weight destroyer, and it is present naturally in the body in most people except rare cases, where it lack because of some disease.

L-carnitine is used in medicine to treat patients with specific heart problems, fertility and mental illness. A deficiency of this substance produces symptoms such as muscle weakness, stiffness, irregular glucose levels, high cholesterol and dark brown urine, but these symptoms can also be caused by other diseases, so diagnosis by a medical professional is necessary.

If it is used for weight loss, it is important to consider that the indiscriminate use of L-carnitine can cause increased heart rate, high blood pressure, fever and insomnia, among other symptoms. In addition, it readily reacts with other medications, so its consumption can have dangerous consequences.

If you have cirrhosis or kidney disease, you should avoid its consumption and the people with vascular, hypertension and diabetes problems are also instructed to avoid its consumption. It is always important to consult a doctor before using it as a way to lose weight.

L-carnitine is produced by the body naturally, and it is rare that the body does not generate the dose you need. It can also be found in some foods, usually high in fat such as red meat, dairy and nuts. You can find it in some fish, asparagus, avocados and yeast.

If L-carnitine is a good choice for you to lose weight, first of all, you should consider improving your diet and incorporate the good fats in your diet and seek advice from your nutritionist or doctor.
