L-Carnitine works as a transport molecule for fatty acids in the mitochondria so that they can be broken down to create ATP. In other words, it moves fatty acids into the cells so they can be transformed into energy. L-Carnitine has been shown in multiple studies to aid in:
Fat loss and increased lean body mass (askarpour 2019)
Improved libido and erectile function (cavallini 2004)
Increased androgen receptor amount and sensitivity (kraemer 2006)
Emerald Coast Concierge Medicine utilizes L-Carnitine side by side with testosterone to maximize androgen receptor activation (enhanced levels of focus, muscle mass and libido) and keep body fat levels low. Since the side effect profile of L-Carnitine is minimal, it can be used indefinitely alongside testosterone therapy.Â
ECCM uses injectable L-Carnitine as it's 3x more bioavailablethan the oral version and thus far more effective.Â
