| Mechanism of Action | L-Carnitine's mechanisms extend beyond the simple "fat-burning nutrient" label. Understanding these mechanisms helps predict where supplementation will and will not produce meaningful effects. The carnitine shuttle — core mechanism. The fundamental role of… | SLU-PP-332 acts through pan-agonism of the three estrogen-related receptors (ERRα/NR3B1, ERRβ/NR3B2, ERRγ/NR3B3), a subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors that regulate oxidative metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, and exercise-responsive gene expression.
