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. 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.
