L-Carnitine is an amino acid that acts as a vitamin-like compound, responsible for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the energy producing mitochondria inside cells. Since the carrier molecule for fatty acids, acyl-CoA, cannot penetrate the cell membrane of the mitochondria without carnitine, a deficiency in carnitine results in decreased fatty acid concentrations in the mitochondria, and as a result, reduced energy production.

Carnitine releases fatty acids allowing them to be converted to energy. Carnitine is a popular supplement for heart health, liver health, and weight loss. Studies generally use dosages ranging from 2 or more grams per day.
