Carnitine is an important amino acid which is synthesized in the body from Lysine. Its best-known metabolic function is the transport of long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria of muscle cells, (including those of the myocardium), for oxidation. The heart muscle relies on this mechanism as an important source of metabolic energy, for this reason Carnitine is essential for the proper development of the body. Furthermore, it helps in the process of thermogenesis (heat production) from the subcutaneous fat and contributes to the regulation of gluconeogenesis. It is often taken as a dietary supplement by malnourished individuals.
