L-Carnitine

Carnitine is an endogenous small molecule whose structure is similar to an amino acid. Therefore, it is also often associated with the amino acids, although it is more of a vitamin-like substance. The highest carnitine concentrations are to be found in the heart and skeletal muscle, liver, kidneys and brains.

Men have more carnitine than women because of their larger muscle mass.

Carnitine-rich foods include beef, venison, dairy products, fish and seafood. Plant foods contain little or no carnitine.

The food supplement carnitine is mainly used by athletes to increase fat burning. The human cells require carnitine to transport fatty acids into the mitochondria. This fat is broken down and produces energy. In addition, carnitine prevents the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles.
