fat metabolism
In the body, one of the most fundamental roles of L- Carnitine is the transport of long chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane into the mitochondria where the fatty acids are ultimately broken down and converted to energy. L-Carnitine is, therefore, essential for fat metabolism and energy production. Given the ability of L-Carnitine to play a major role in fat metabolism, it is not surprising that one of the first cosmetic applications of this material was in contouring creams and in cellulite control. However, it has been also found that the major benefits brought to the cosmetics marketplace lie in the areas of skin nourishment, moisturization, exfoliation and repair. |
