L-carnitine is a dietary supplement that plays a crucial role in energy production by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells. Mitochondria act as engines inside cells, burning these fats to create usable energy.

Vegans, or some people with certain genetic problems, may be unable to produce or obtain enough L-Carnitine. This makes L-carnitine an essential conditioned nutrient.

Does it help in weight loss?

In theory (especially when it is associated with exercise), the use of L-carnitine as a weight loss supplement makes sense. Because L-carnitine helps transport more fatty acids into cells to be burned for energy, this would logically increase the ability to burn fat and lose weight.

Heart health

A study has shown a potential for lowering blood pressure and the inflammatory process associated with heart disease. Addition of  L-carnitine to standard medical therapy for heart failure has been evaluated in several clinical trials. A randomized, placebo-controlled study in 70 patients with heart failure found that survival over a 3-year period was significantly higher in the group receiving L-carnitine (2,000 mg / day) compared to the group receiving placebo.

Pectoral angina is the chest pain that occurs when coronary blood supply is insufficient to meet the metabolic needs of the heart muscle (ischemia). A randomized, placebo-controlled study in 200 patients with stable stress-induced angina found that supplementing conventional medical therapy with 2,000 mg / day of L-carnitine for 6 months significantly reduced the incidence of premature ventricular contraction at rest and also has improved effort tolerance. In addition, a randomized, placebo-controlled study in 44 men with chronic stable angina found that taking 2,000 mg / day of  L-carnitine for 4 weeks, the volume of exercise tolerated before the onset of angina increased significantly and the ST segment depression (electrocardiographic evidence of ischemia) decreased during exercise compared to placebo.

Muscle recovery

Latest studies indicate the positive impact of dietary supplementation with L-carnitine on the recovery process after exercise. It is shown that L-carnitine attenuates muscle damage and reduces the markers of cell damage and the formation of free radicals accompanied by the alleviation of muscle pain.
