Studies have reported it may speed up the healing of tendons, ligaments, and muscles in research models linked to its ability to increase growth factors involved in connective tissue repair
In the study conducted by Nachvak et al., L-carnitine supplementation significantly increased serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and significantly reduced levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), nitrotyrosine (NT), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) compared to the placebo group

An injection of glutathione may also help battle viruses and enhance Vitamin C absorption
They can be safely used with all other glucose-lowering therapies except vildagliptin
