L-Carnitine Definition
What Is L-Carnitine?

Carnitine is an amino acid found in many foods, especially meat, and produced naturally in the body. Studies suggest that athletes need more L-Carnitine than they can produce because of its key role in energy metabolism. These amino acids transport fatty acids across cell walls into the mitochondria to provide muscles with the fuel they need to make energy.B33. L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid which is an in important constituent in the metabolism of fat. It functions as a transporter of fatty acids into the mitochondria, the metabolic furnace of the cell. L-carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane to be metabolized. L-carnitine aids in the release of stored body fat, tryglycerides, into the bloodstream for energy. L-carnitine allows the body to burn more fat, save more glycogen, and ultimately boost stamina and endurance. By providing more fat to the muscles, carnitine makes accessible an otherwise unavailable energy source. (Fat + Oxygen + L-carnitine = Energy).
