But alcohol is compatible with the carnitine that is produced in the body, it is biogenic. In applying usual synthetic additives. The combination of any synthetic drugs with the alcohol can result in the unpredictable response of the body.
Among the effects of the combination with alcohol - increased side effects:
- hives;
- dermatitis;
- bronchial spasm;
- angioedema;
- itchy skin.
These are the typical symptoms of systemic allergic reactions. It can provoke alcohol with L-carnitine synthetic origin.
There are also myths about losing weight: The combination of alcohol and carnitine accelerates fat burning. But this is not the case. Alcohol increases blood pressure, blood oxygen level is reduced. Fat depots can not fully burned without oxygen, even under the effect of carnitine. But allergic reactions are more likely when combined with alcohol. therefore taking L-Carnitine and drink alcohol at the same time is not recommended.
The effects of L-Carnitine
Drinking alcohol while taking synthetic carnitine is contrary to the effects that a person is trying to achieve with this drug. Carnitine is also called in11. It activates the processing of fats for energy, speeds up the decomposition of fat.
Among its effects:
- slowing decomposition of sugars and peptides in the body;
- acceleration of metabolic processes;
- improvement of muscle due to the supply of fatty acids;
- maintenance work vessels and the heart;
- increase tissue resistance to lack of oxygen - antihypoxia action;
- lowering cholesterol levels in the blood;
- normalization of production of thyroid hormones;
- increase endurance;
- acceleration of regenerative processes;
- preventing radical reactions in the body - an antioxidant effect.
Carnitine is involved in the normalization of intestinal motility. It increases the activity of digestive enzymes. Restores structure of nervous fibers, protein and lipid metabolism.
The fat depots carnitine mobilizes fat displaces glucose. It applies even in acute oxygen deficiency, which is normally required for combustion of lipids. increases the resistance of tissues to the action of toxic metabolic products.
Indications for
Carnitine is used by professional athletes to improve performance workouts. They take it for improving endurance during training, as well as to accelerate the burning of excess fat layers. But in this case, the appointment of the drug is exclusively a sports doctor.
In medicine, the carnitine is prescribed for acute conditions such:
- ischemic stroke;
- circulatory disorders in the brain;
- encephalopathy disorders of blood circulation;
- toxic brain injury;
- traumatic brain injury, traumatic brain injury.
During treatment with cytostatics L-Carnitine can be designated as cardioprotector to protect the heart muscle from the negative effects of drugs.
