Description
L–carnitine might be an effective supplement for improving exercise recovery and preventing muscle damage. Some of the main benefits of L–carnitine include reducing soreness, decreasing fatigue and muscle damage, and improving strength and physical performance. L-carnitine is a non-essential amino acid. It is synthesized in the body, but also found in meat, fish, and dairy (1, 2). L-carnitine plays a role in the transfer of fatty acid to mitochondria, where it is then oxidized and used for energy production in the cell. It is also involved in the creation of various compounds that are important for energy metabolism (1, 2). L-carnitine is marketed as an amino acid and a supplement because it can be produced in the body, but is also found in food sources.
