L-carnitine is a sulphur-containing amino acid that is formed in the body from the amino acids L-lysine and L-methionine. L-carnitine is primarily found in meat and other foods of animal origin. On average, 75% of the L-carnitine present in the body comes from food, the rest is produced by the body itself.

L-carnitine is important for energy metabolism and endurance performance in athletes, supports regeneration, serves to transport fats (fatty acids) and enables their optimal combustion. 

In the human body, the vitamin-like nutrient carnitine is synthesised by iron, vitamin C, B6, B12, folic acid, niacin and enzymes. Our body produces L-carnitine itself from the amino acids methionine and lysine. It is mainly absorbed through animal foods such as red meat. Sheep and lamb in particular contain high amounts of the nutrient, but fish, seafood, milk and cheese can also be used as a source.

The protein compound got its name from the fact that the two amino acids are largely contained in meat. Translated from Latin, carnis means meat, and this is how the name L-carnitine developed. The substance was first discovered in the muscle meat of mammals by Russian researchers at the beginning of the 20th century. It is indispensable for the function of the muscles.

The product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. ( vegan / vegi / vegetarian)
