Weight loss market ectacular boom, false propaganda exaggerated curative effect

Swept the country of l-carnitine, just a kind of lose weight nutritional supplements, carry momentum is not enough ineffective, purity is not high also may cause muscle atro

Beijing's in Mr Head is not high, weight had more than 160 jins, eaten pills, diarrhea cause dehydration and lie in bed for a few days rise;Bought abdominal muscle weight devices, seismic shaking and numb, dismemberment,Buy a treadmill, insist to do not come down, has been idle.Later risk of diabetes, Peking union medical college hospital experts after diagnosis, only open 8 words prescription: reasonable diet, proper motion.


As obese increased, weight-loss market ectacular boom, various law reducing weight come on stage in succession, good and evil people mixed up, make consumers resembles rock-solid.Last year, a doctor in a local TV strongstrongly recommend the l-carnitine and l-acetyl-carnitine instantly into reducing weight, be grabbed snapping up star products.


Reporters at the dragons search, found nearly 50,000 pieces of products.Some stores even on sales can reach more than 2000.The reporter interviewed several drugstore, staff said carnitine products sell very well.


Eat diet products of the person all know, reduce weight drugs, health products are some side effects, such as dry mouth, diarrhea, sleep etc, so buy products reducing weight people are more cautious.But l-carnitine but propaganda is safe and effective no adverse effects.


Is this really the case?Beijing union hospital endocrine division of doctor of vice director of PanHui study found, carnitine is a prompt fat into the energy of amino acids, from red meat, to human body non-toxic side effects.Main physiological function is to promote adipose is converted into energy, in 2003 by international obesity health organization recognized as the most safety and no side effect reducing weight of nutritional supplements.


But in fact, carnitine is just a vehicle, is like carrying fat car.As for exactly how much you have consumed fat, does not depend on lac.Say simply, if exercise is not big, fat consumption is not much, just increase lac doesn't increase fat oxidation function, therefore to reducing weight did not help.


PanHui pointed out, carnitine products will not high purity of muscles generate harmful, even cause muscle weakness, sweeny, etc.He explained, carnitine in nature of the existing two forms, l-carnitine and dextral carnitine.The only difference is that both on the structure, the study found that mutual symmetrical dextral carnitine not only the effect reducing weight, but also for the muscles generate harmful, can cause muscle weakness, sweeny, etc.Chemical synthesis methods produce carnitine, general is levorotatory and dextral carnitine mixture, then use the method of separation of will dextral carnitine from l-carnitine isolated out, produce l-carnitine.Because the extraction technology of l-carnitine complex, expensive cost, the current application l-carnitine mostly industrial production, and if the purity is not high, which may contain a certain amount of l-carnitine outside the harmful impurities.


Many enterprises set number colon, OEM and produce fake products, using exaggerated effect means false conduct propaganda,And even normal product will violate compasses add western medicine ingredients to satisfy people days get effective demand.


Last September, state administration of industry and commerce exposure serious illegal food commercials, product name labeled as "west wood l-carnitine milk tea" food advertising among them.


Reporter logon the national regulators website and found only two paragraphs l-carnitine products are batch number, respectively for the kingdom G20080575 bei xing food health word CARDS l-carnitine tea polyphenols capsule, national food G20080650 Mr Luna nutrilite word lac ginkgo capsule.


However, even a legitimate product, also have illegal add drug phenomenon.Last December, Mr Luna l-carnitine ginkgo capsule was in taiyuan, Shanxi Province food and drug administration, the reason is prohibited from the shelves containing chemical drug "xibuquming" and "phenolphthalein."In view of "xibuquming may increase serious cardioascular risk, after the state food and drug administration has stopped" xibuquming "preparation and apis in our production, marketing and use, and revoke the approval documents.
