• In April 2010, Professor Zhang of the Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine conducted a clinical trial to verify whether L-carnitine loses weight with L-carnitine. He also injected L-carnitine into 16 obese mice with an average body weight of 30 grams. One month later, the average body weight of the mice was found to be reduced by 10 grams, and then the body index of the mice was thoroughly checked.
