What Is L-Carnitine?
L-Carnitine is a vitamin-like nutrient that is actively involved in fat metabolism. L-Carnitine is naturally manufactured in small amounts in the animal’s body from two essential amino acids, methionine and lysine. Animal studies show that Carnitine is synthesized in the liver but primarily stored in skeletal muscle. The capacity for endogenous synthesis is considerably restricted in neonates and genetically advanced animals, such as extreme lean pigs and animals fed a restricted diet (such as holding an animal).
