12 Unfortunately, best results require combining a considerable (~80 grams) load of carbohydrates to push the L-carnitine into the skeletal muscle and increase muscle stores, as well as increasing energy expenditure
Long-Term Weight Loss & Maintenance with Semaglutide in Obesity (2022 Review of STEP Trials) consolidates findings across multiple STEP trials (1, 3, 4, 8), showing 14.917.4% mean weight loss over 68 weeks, improved cardiometabolic markers, and better quality-of-life outcomes
Carnitine supplementation has a positive effect on enhancing skeletal muscle strength, accelerating fatigue recovery and optimizing contraction characteristics [268, 269]
So, doctors keep a close eye on how patients do and adjust treatments as needed
