L Carnitine Supplements

What is L-Carnitine?

L-carnitine is a non-essential amino acid, which means that the body produces it naturally, from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It has the role of transporting long-chain fatty acids to cells’ mitochondria, where energy is created. There are two types, l-carnitine tartrate and acetyl l-carnitine — it’s the first that is most frequently used in fitness supplements, and the latter which is created in the body.

What are the Benefits of L-Carnitine?

Our l-carnitine supplements are available as ready-to-mix powders or convenient-to-take capsules, helping you to make sure you are getting the carnitine you need to support your fitness progress. They’re a convenient way to keep your daily intake of this amino acid topped up. As it’s an amino acid, l-carnitine naturally occurs in protein, which helps to build and repair muscle – crucial for any fitness goal.
