L-Carnitine plays a critical role in energy production. It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be burned to produce energy.

L-Carnitine transports the toxic compounds generated out of this cellular organelle to prevent their accumulation. Given these key functions, carnitine is concentrated in tissues like skeletal and cardiac muscle that utilize fatty acids as a dietary fuel. The body makes sufficient carnitine to meet the needs of most people. But for genetic or medical reasons, some individuals (such as preterm infants), cannot make enough, so for them carnitine is a conditionally essential nutrient.
