L-carnitine infusions

L – CARNITINE – VITAMIN-DERIVED SUBSTANCE

Occurs in the form of the L isomer, which is biologically active. It binds fatty acids from the body’s fatty reserves, and then transports them to energy-producing mitochondria. The main activity of L-carnitine is burning subcutaneous fat and regulating hormone levels. Studies show that L-carnitine reduces fat mass, leads to weight loss, increases muscle mass and reduces fatigue.

INTRAVENOUS INFUSIONS OF L-CARNITINE ARE USED:

• muscle damage, myopathies, e.g.:
– preventative and curative treatment with cardiotoxic chemotherapy (damaging the heart muscle) or statins (drugs that lower blood cholesterol),
– heart failure,
– coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis (studies show that carnitine may have positive effect on metabolism in ischemic muscle),
• non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),
• auxiliary in the treatment of lipid disorders,
• auxiliary in Alzheimer’s disease,
• incidentally in AIDS,
• helpful in the treatment of obesity.

L-CARNITINE SUPPLEMENTATION IS RECOMMENDED FOR:

• vegans and some vegetarians,
• people using intensive training,
• physically working people,
• supporting detoxification (the ability of L-carnitine to attach acyl groups clearly supports detoxification processes),
• people undergoing chemotherapy that damages the heart,
• people using statins (for hypercholesterolemia, after a heart attack).
