L-carnitine addresses fatty liver disease through multiple pathways:

Fat Metabolism Enhancement: L-carnitine directly facilitates the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation, helping reduce fat accumulation in liver cells. This is particularly important in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Reduction of Liver Enzymes: Studies consistently show decreases in ALT and AST levels, indicating improved liver function and reduced inflammation.

Insulin Sensitivity Improvement: By enhancing glucose metabolism and reducing insulin resistance, L-carnitine addresses one of the key underlying factors in fatty liver development.

Oxidative Stress Reduction: L-carnitine’s antioxidant properties help protect liver cells from damage caused by fat accumulation and metabolic stress.

Clinical trials have demonstrated significant improvements in liver fat content (measured by ultrasound or MRI), with reductions of 20-30% in some studies using 2-3 grams daily for 12-24 weeks.
