Maintaining healthy L-carnitine levels is essential for skeletal and cardiac muscle function and, importantly, for maintaining mitochondrial health, which is important for healthy aging [7274].* In preclinical studies, it has been shown that L-carnitine insufficiency is associated with aging and compromised mitochondrial function and metabolic health [75].* L-carnitine and ALCAR supplementation may help to maintain healthy L-carnitine levels in tissues, support mitochondrial performance, and promote healthy aging [76,77]

However, based on preclinical data and early human trial findings, glucagon receptor co-activation in the context of concurrent GLP-1R and GIPR agonism is hypothesised to: Increase energy expenditure, potentially by promoting thermogenesis Enhance hepatic fat oxidation, which may reduce liver fat content Contribute to appetite suppression through central nervous system pathways These GCGR-mediated mechanisms are largely derived from preclinical and indirect human data and require confirmation in larger trials
