L-Carnitine
What Is L-Carnitine?
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring compound derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It is present in the human body and plays a role in cellular energy processes, particularly those involving fatty acids.
L-Carnitine is commonly included in sports nutrition and lifestyle formulations where energy metabolism and training support are part of the product’s intent.
Where L-Carnitine Comes From
L-Carnitine occurs naturally in foods such as red meat and dairy products, though typically in relatively small amounts. For supplementation purposes, L-Carnitine is produced in a purified, laboratory-controlled form to ensure consistent quality and accurate dosing.
Several supplemental forms exist, each with slightly different characteristics.
Forms of L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine (Base Form)
The foundational form, commonly used in powders and capsules.
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate
A form bonded to tartaric acid, frequently used in sports-focused formulations.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)
An acetylated form often included in cognitive or focus-oriented products.
Each form is selected based on the intended application of the product.
