About
An essential cofactor for transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production. Meta-analyses of 37 RCTs demonstrate that L-carnitine supplementation may support healthy body weight and body composition, particularly when combined with physical activity.
How It Works
Essential cofactor for carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) enzyme system, which transports long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation. Without adequate carnitine, fatty acids cannot enter mitochondria for energy production. Also supports pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, improving overall substrate utilization.
