While these two medications target different systems in the body, combining them may offer a unique, dual-action approach to managing appetite and cravings
They work by mimicking the hormone in the body that regulates appetite and blood sugar
The authors of the study wrote that the potential mechanisms behind these effects include "L-carnitine's role in transporting fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes, enhancing beta-oxidation, reducing free fatty acid availability, and inhibiting cholesterol synthesis." In addition, the authors noted, "L-carnitine exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can further modulate dyslipidaemia (the imbalance in blood lipids) and protect LDL from oxidative stress." Finally, it was reported that L-carnitine was able to reduce the conversion of free fatty acids to triglycerides, and ultimately prevent the build-up of triglycerides
