L-carnitine, also known as L-carnitine or transliteration of carnitine, is an amino acid that promotes the conversion of fat into energy. Red meat is the main source of L-carnitine and has no toxic side effects on the human body. Different types of daily diets already contain 5-100 mg of L-carnitine, but the average person can only take 50 mg from the diet per day, and vegetarians consume less. The main physiological function of L-carnitine is to promote the conversion of fat into energy. L-carnitine can reduce body fat and body weight without reducing water and muscle. It was recognized as the safest and no side effect by the International Obesity Health Organization in 2003. Weight loss nutritional supplements.
L-carnitine is an amino acid (a building block for proteins) that is naturally produced in the body.

Applicaitons & Benefits of L-cartinine
Carnitine (l-carnitine), is a carboxylic acid transporting fatty acids into mitochondria, where they get transformed in energy for the body.
Unlike the alleged weight loss properties of carnitine, there exist a few studies proving this amino acid to be helpful in curing some pathologies.
It is important to remind l-carnitine, as it goes with any other supplement, should be taken on a medical advice.
