I heard that L-Carnitine can help reduce cholesterol level. Is it true?
Yes. Apart from converting fat in the body into useable energy, L-Carnitine is also reported to lower the triglycerides in blood and increase the HDL (good cholesterol) level significantly, as published in “The Johns Hopkins Medical Journal” . A lower ratio of LDL (bad cholesterol) to HDL (good cholesterol) reduces the risk of a heart attack. L-Carnitine also has cardio-protective properties, which shield the heart from drug toxicity.
