Carnitine releases fatty acids allowing them to be converted to energy. Carnitine is a popular supplement for heart health, liver health, and weight loss. Studies generally use dosages ranging from 2 or more grams per day.†

L-Carnitine is an amino acid that is made in the human body. For this reason, L-carnitine is usually not considered to be an essential nutrient. However, premature infants and some adults cannot make L-carnitine in sufficient amounts, which necessitates supplementation. Carnitine is essential because it is critical in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria.†
