L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine — Research Use Only L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino-acid derivative, also known as levocarnitine. It participates in the transport of long-chain fatty-acid groups into mitochondria, where they undergo beta-oxidation as part of cellular energy metabolism. L-Carnitine is not a peptide. Laboratory and preclinical research has examined L-Carnitine in experimental models involving mitochondrial function, fatty-acid transport, cellular energy production, acyl-group metabolism, and metabolic responses to cellular stress. Findings from these studies do not establish the safety or therapeutic efficacy of this research-use product in humans.
