L-Carnitine is primarily involved with transporting long-chain fatty acids from the cell cytosol into the mitochondria. Since long chain fatty acids are oxidized (burned) in the mitochondria, L-carnitine facilitates production of energy from fat. Oxidation (combining with oxygen) of the BCAAs is facilitated by L-carnitine, providing a link between protein catabolism and cellular energy. Skeletal muscle contains 90% of total body carnitine in humans. L-carnitine’s function during aerobic exercise include increased fat metabolism, increased endurance, increased definition, increased utilization of fatty acids as energy, decreased lactate build up. L-carnitine may help in the reduction of ketones in the blood (important for diabetics).
