It promotes the breakdown of fat; thus, it's an excellent skin energizer. It accelerates the fat-burning process, boosting energy production by burning the body's fat reserves. It is involved in the transfer of fatty acids through the mitochondria membrane for a process called betta-oxidation, resulting in ATP (cellular energy molecules) production.
Carnitine is a substance that aids in penetrating the skin barrier and the cellular membrane structures since the adipocytes and the fat deposits are located in a deep skin layer, the dermis. It was initially found in the muscular tissues, where it is present as is or esterified with an acyl group.
L-carnitine is a natural constituent of the body cells. Additional intake of L-Carnitine facilitates its natural stimulating role in the use of fatty acids which results in the increase of the metabolism and reduction of skin lipidic substrates. Moreover, Carnitine reduces glucose consumption in microcirculation and protects the endothelium, the smooth musculature of the surface blood vessel.
In particular, peripheral vascularization is improved thanks to its structural similarity to acetylcholine, which is an endogenous neurotransmitter. This function makes L-carnitine especially effective in treating cellulite. It is also a betta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that exfoliates old cells, modulates sebum secretion of oily skin, and mitigates UV tissue damage.Ingredient products
