Beneficial effects of L-carnitine were amplified by motivation training for weight management in healthy, research finds

L-carnitine can promote oxidation of fat into energy,so it can be used to losing weight.Besides,a research from Scientific Research Publishing also states that combined with motivation training,the antiobesity action of L-carnitine will be more significant:

A 4-week low dosage (500 mg/day) L-carnitine supplementation in combination with motivation training was carried out in 24 overweight (BMI 25.8 - 26.6 kg/m2) Japanese males in the course of a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study. L-carnitine motivated group showed significant body weight loss and a decrement of serum triglyceride level vs. the non-motivated placebo group. Serum adiponectin levels increased in both L-carnitine supplemented groups. The beneficial effects of L-carnitine were amplified by motivation training. For clinical evaluation of supplements, whose efficacy is potentially affected by inter-individual life style variability, supportive motivation training might be advisable for future clinical trials.
