L-carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and is needed to release energy from fat. It transports fatty acids into mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells.

Carnitine is a nutrient responsible for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the energy-producing centers of the cells (known as the mitochondria). In other words, carnitine helps the body convert fatty acids into energy, which is used primarily for muscular activities throughout the body.

Research shows that people who supplement with L-carnitine while engaging in an exercise regimen are less likely to experience muscle soreness. L-Carnitine turns fat into energy. Fatty acids are one of the primary energy sources for the body.
