How Fat metabolisers work


Holland & Barrett
Our body has its own system of fat metabolism. It is so done by the action of different molecules. One of the most important natural fat metabolisers is Carnitine.

The commercial product of fat metabolisers incorporates the active ingredient L-Carnitine. It is very much a important factor in weight loss and diet supplements.

Biochemically, L-Carnitine is an amino acid. It helps to produce protein in our body. L-Carnitine is synthesized by the liver (the largest gland of our body) and kidneys, and it is necessary for fatty acids to be carried into cells. Fatty acids act as the source of energy to the cellular level. L-Carnitine is recognized as the fat metabolizing amino acid, it helps to stimulate muscle growth and thus rebuild body tissues. L-Carnitine also helps in the antioxidant function of Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

L-Carnitine is recognized as a fat metaboliser as it helps to utilize the fatty acid by the body tissues.

Apart from L-Carnitine, another ingredient Hydroxycitric acid is also considered as a fat metaboliser. Naturally available in tamaring fruit, it inhibits the enzyme which synthesizes fatty acid from carbohydrates. If the biochemical process is reduced or stopped, the process of fat production will be diminished.

Another product, Chromium Picolinate is also considered as fat metaboliser as it keeps the blood sugar level at a constant, thus helping to reduce fat.
