L Carnitine Weight Loss

L-carnitine is a non-essential (i.e. it can be manufactured in the body) amino acid and is made from lysine and methionine. It is found naturally in foods including avocados, dairy produce and red meats (beef and lamb).

L-carnitine's primary function in the body is in the process of food and in particular fats. It transfers fat molecules called triglycerides into mitochondria which is used as a source of energy in the body (Bodybuilding.com).

Many scientific studies have been done on L-carnitine and it's possible health benefits to the body. There is some evidence that supplementation can improve the cardiovascular system as well as a number of other health benefits.
