Liver Cancer: L-Carnitine Inhibits Liver Cancer

"'Liver cancer] is usually preceded by chronic inflammation*...Recently we reported that mitrochondrial 'part of the cell responsible for energy production and respiration] dysfunction plays an important role in 'liver cancer] via the production of free radicals 'produced by inflammation.] Furthermore, we proved that L-Carnitine effectively protects 'this dysfunction.]

"'Our subsequent work] suggests that clinical use of carnitine has excellent therapeutic potential in individuals with chronic hepatitis."

*Science has shown that most diseases originate from inflammation. L-Carnitine neutralizes free radical harm by providing anti-oxidant defense for the body.
