L-Carnitine is the chief amino acid that helps the body convert fats into energy. It can be stored in many areas like the muscles, heart and brain, but it is manufactured by the kidneys and liver.
Carnitine is considered conditionally essential, meaning that there are certain conditions a person can undergo which might make supplementation or dietary changes necessary to keep up Carnitine levels. L-Carnitine is necessary for the oxidation of fatty acids, which can eventually aid in fat loss. Fatty acids are one of the main sources of energy for the body and it would be impossible for them to penetrate the cell membrane without the presence of Carnitine

- L-Carnitine plays a critical role in the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce energy.
- By facilitating fatty acid oxidation, L-Carnitine helps generate ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell
- It helps reduce oxidative stress by mitigating the production of free radicals during fatty acid oxidation Improves endurance and reduces fatigue by increasing the utilization of fatty acids for energy, sparing muscle glycogen
