Abstract

With the rapid development of urban technology, people have higher and higher requirements for their appearance, especially some young women, who lose weight at all costs, so various means of weight loss have come into being. Weight loss pills have remarkable effects on weight loss, but most of them are accompanied by strong adverse effects. The main object of this study is the new weight loss drug, L-carnitine, an amino acid derivative that is extremely common and widely used in the medical field and is currently used mainly for weight loss and nutrient supplementation, but it also has many drawbacks and hidden dangers. This paper summarizes the current research progress, physiological effects, and side effects of L-carnitine by literature analysis, and provides a reference for future research. This paper found that L-carnitine is mainly used to transport long-chain fatty acids, help digestion, promote normal metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, relieve toxic acyl groups, participate in membrane repair, and maintain membrane stability; however, L-carnitine also has certain side effects, the most common of which are intestinal digestive problems and circulatory system abnormalities, and, in some cases, to affect the mental status of the user.
