Thus, these findings prompted us to hypothesize that increases in the total content of carnitine in skeletal muscle may lead to beneficial effects on weight loss and insulin sensitivity
The endogenous synthesis of Carnitine accounts for only 25% of our daily needs
Glutathione and heart health Glutathione serves many functions that are essential for heart health, including helping to activate enzymes and transporting amino acids for protein synthesis required to maintain and repair muscle

In contrast, another demonstrated that macrophages, during the efferocytosis process, present a transient increase in glycolysis ( ~ 1h-6h), that is dependent on rapid post-translational mechanisms with increased expression of GLUT1 on the cell surface and glucose uptake, in a process that involves the activation of the glycolytic enzyme fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 2 (PFKFB2)
It stimulates collagen I and III production, increases elastin by 30%, raises decorin levels (which organizes collagen structure), and modulates matrix metalloproteinases to remodel damaged or disorganized collagen
