Eight weeks of supplementation with a combination of L-Carnitine (Lonzas Carnipure), L-leucine, creatine, and vitamin D3 was also associated with an increase in the expression of the expression of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), which is known to cause muscle cells to increase protein synthesis, according to results published in Nutrition & Metabolism
Participants supplemented with the L-Carnitine-combination showed a 1.0 kg increase in total lean muscle mass (P= 0.013), leg lean muscle mass (0.35 kg, P=0.005), and a 1.0 kg increase in lower leg strength (P= 0.029) at week 8
Conversely, male patients often exhibit normal overall ROS levels in their lymphocytes but show profound, specific mitochondrial lipid oxidative damage
Without a truly personalized plan, meaningful results may be hard to achieve
