Carnitine


Carnitine, derived from an amino acid, is found in nearly all cells of the body. Its name is derived from the Latin carus or flesh, as the compound was isolated from meat. Carnitine is the generic term for a number of compounds that include L-carnitine base, acetyl-L-carnitine, etc.

Carnitine plays a critical role in energy production. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be oxidized ("burned") to produce energy.

Animal products like meat, fish, poultry, and milk are the best sources. In general, the redder the meat, the higher its carnitine content. Dairy products contain carnitine primarily in the whey fraction.
