L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative synthesized from lysine and methionine. It has attracted growing interest in research focused on fat metabolism, energy production, and athletic performance.
Studies have shown that L-Carnitine facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty ahttps://www.cnpepmed.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1142&action=editcids into the mitochondrial matrix for β-oxidation, serving as a key regulator of lipid metabolism. It also enhances mitochondrial function and reduces oxidative stress. It may also play a role in weight management, exercise recovery, cardiovascular health, and improvement of insulin sensitivity.
