L-Carnitine (Levocarnitine) is a naturally occurring amino-acid-like compound that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for β-oxidation and ATP generation.
It is widely used in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, functional foods, beverages, and animal nutrition for metabolic support, energy enhancement, and performance optimization.
