L-Carnitine
Transports fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production — essential for fat metabolism and stamina.
What It Is
L-Carnitine is synthesised from lysine and methionine in the liver and kidneys. Its primary role is to shuttle long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, where they are oxidised ("burned") for energy. This makes it particularly valuable for athletic performance, weight management protocols, and anyone experiencing chronic fatigue. It also plays a role in buffering the build-up of metabolic waste products during exercise.
What It Does
- Enhances fat oxidation for energy
- Reduces exercise fatigue
- Supports cardiovascular function
- Improves insulin sensitivity
- Supports male fertility (sperm motility)
Clinical Considerations
Well tolerated. May have mild blood-thinning effects — relevant for patients on anticoagulants. A clinical assessment is required.
