Function:

Carnitine, also known as L-carnitine (levocarnitine) is a quaternary

ammonium compound derived from the amino acid lysine and is

responsible for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into

the mitochondria. It is often sold as a nutritional supplement.

Originally found as a growth factor for mealworms and labled Vitamin

Bt. Natural carnitine is the L-stereoisomer. It can be synthesised

within the body from the amino acids lysine or methionine. Vitamin C

(ascorbic acid) is essential to the synthesis of carnitine. It has

been speculated that during growth or pregnancy the requirement of

carnitine could exceed its natural production.
