L-carnitine is an important amino acid that is essential for the transport of fatty acids to the mitochondria through cell membranes, where fatty acids are used to produce energy in the form of ATP. Carnitine is also essential for the removal of toxic byproducts of this process of cellular metabolism. The benefits of L-carnitine in energy efficiency, athletic performance, endurance and exercise have been documented in many clinical studies.
