Description

L-Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from lysine and methionine and serves as an essential cofactor for fatty acid transport into mitochondria.
It facilitates the movement of long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane for β-oxidation, promoting cellular energy production and efficient ATP generation.

In research settings, L-Carnitine is studied for its role in metabolic optimization, mitochondrial biogenesis, lipid oxidation, and exercise performance.
It has demonstrated potential to improve fatigue resistance, recovery, and oxidative balance, making it a cornerstone compound for investigations into energy metabolism and cellular homeostasis.
