Potential benefits

The Benefits of Lipo-C

B12 is the vitamin your nerves, brain and blood cells can't function without, and Lipo-C pairs it with nutrients involved in processing fat. Alongside diet and activity, it may help support:

Individual results vary. Benefits are not guaranteed and depend on your provider's evaluation and your plan. Evidence for wellness uses is limited.

Why it matters

Why L-Carnitine Matters

L-carnitine carries fat into your cells' mitochondria, where it's turned into energy. Your body makes some and gets the rest from food, mostly meat, fish and dairy.

You may have lower L-carnitine levels if you:

  • Follow a vegan or vegetarian diet
  • Are an older adult
  • Have long-term kidney disease or are on dialysis
  • Take certain medicines, such as valproic acid

Low L-carnitine can lead to:

  • Muscle weakness
  • Tiredness and low energy
  • Less fat used for fuel
  • Low blood sugar

Most healthy people make enough L-carnitine, and these signs have many possible causes. A licensed provider reviews your online form before recommending Lipo-C or another option.
