Tetley Green Tea has highlighted the role of L-Carnitine, a nutrient known for supporting energy production and fat metabolism, as part of its latest wellness-focused offering in India. L-Carnitine plays a key role in transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for β-oxidation, a process essential for breaking down fat and generating energy. Naturally found in foods such as red meat, dairy products and avocados, the nutrient is also produced by the body from amino acids lysine and methionine, though supplementation is often used to ensure adequate intake.
Scientific studies cited in wellness research indicate that L-Carnitine can aid fat utilisation, support weight management and improve endurance when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Green tea further complements this process by helping block malonyl-CoA, which supports fatty acid breakdown. Responding to growing demand from urban consumers for simple and practical weight management solutions, Tetley Green Tea, a trusted brand of Tata Consumer Products, has introduced Tetley Green Tea Slim Care. The variant blends premium green tea with added L-Carnitine, positioning it as a functional wellness beverage rather than a conventional green tea.
In Guwahati, rising health awareness and increasing preference for convenient wellness products have driven interest in functional beverages. Retailers in the city report steady demand for green tea variants that offer specific health benefits, indicating strong potential for L-Carnitine-infused products among health-conscious consumers.
