L-carnitine lowers lipoprotein(a) levels
We investigated the impact of L-carnitine on cholesterol levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. In a well-structured 6-month study, patients were assigned either L-carnitine or a placebo.

Over this period, we observed that L-carnitine significantly reduced plasma lipoprotein(a) levels compared to the placebo. This exciting finding suggests that L-carnitine might be a useful dietary supplement for managing cholesterol in patients with diabetes.

L-Carnitine prevents atherosclerosis progression
We investigated the role of L-carnitine in preventing atherosclerosis progression in rabbits with high cholesterol. By administering a cholesterol-heavy diet, we induced hypercholesterolaemia and provided L-carnitine to observe its effects. The results were promising; L-carnitine completely halted the advancement of serious artery issues. Notably, rabbits receiving D-carnitine showed worsened atherosclerosis. These findings suggest that L-carnitine may play a vital role beyond its known benefits, by potentially counteracting atherogenic processes.

We examined the impact of L-carnitine on oxidized LDL cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes. In our three-month trial, 81 patients were split into two groups, one receiving L-carnitine and the other a placebo.

The results showed that those taking L-carnitine experienced notable reductions in oxidized LDL cholesterol and other key markers, such as triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. This suggests that L-carnitine could be a beneficial treatment for managing cholesterol levels in diabetic patients.

Supports weight loss

L-carnitine is vital for lowering blood cholesterol levels to a healthy range, preventing new fatty deposits, and supporting weight loss. It also aids heart function, saturates body cells with oxygen, and protects nerve cells from toxins. I take one capsule in the morning on an empty stomach before training to see results.

I struggle with being overweight, so I take both Carnitine and Acetyl-L-Carnitine. They help control blood cholesterol levels, and my bi-monthly tests confirm positive results. Although binge eating isn't recommended, I find this supplement essential for managing my weight.

L-carnitine combined effects assessed
This study explored the impact of L-carnitine and leaf extract supplementation on the adverse effects of a high-cholesterol diet in rats.

We found that combining L-carnitine with the leaf extract significantly reduced harmful cholesterol and triglyceride levels while improving liver health markers after eight weeks.

Interestingly, single treatments showed some benefits, but the combination was clearly more effective. Overall, this suggests that L-carnitine can play a valuable role in managing high cholesterol and fatty liver conditions.

Kefir bacteria reduces cholesterol effectively
We investigated how Lactobacillus kefiri DH5, a bacteria isolated from kefir, can impact cholesterol levels and obesity caused by high-fat diets. After testing its survival in the digestive system, we found it significantly reduced cholesterol by over 51%.

In our experiments with mice, those given L. kefiri DH5 showed marked reductions in body weight, fat tissue, and harmful LDL cholesterol levels compared to those without the treatment.

This suggests that incorporating this strain could be a beneficial dietary option for managing cholesterol and obesity.

Yuja peel improves cholesterol levels
We investigated how Citrus junos Tanaka peel, known as yuja, affects liver fat and cholesterol levels in lab cells and mice. The study involved feeding mice a high-cholesterol diet and then providing them with different concentrations of yuja peel extract.

Our findings showed that the yuja peel extract significantly reduced liver fat and cholesterol levels in the mice. In fact, those mice receiving yuja had lower body weight and healthier cholesterol profiles compared to those on just a high-cholesterol diet.

This suggests that yuja peel can be a beneficial supplement for those managing high cholesterol.

Increased endurance
3 people found this helpful
At 50, I joined a women's fitness club and found the initial sessions challenging. My trainer recommended L-Carnitine to enhance my endurance. It's available in various forms, but I chose capsules. The optimal dose is 1500-2000 mg daily. L-Carnitine activates fat metabolism, especially during aerobic activities. After two months, I've lost 2 kg, feel more toned, and thoroughly enjoy my workouts.

Cholesterol improved

I began taking these to manage my LDL cholesterol, and it appears to be effective. As a vegetarian who hasn’t consumed dairy in over 35 years, my cholesterol hovered around 200, but this has made a noticeable difference.
