L-carnitine
Mitochondrial shuttle molecule
L-carnitine is a compound that transports fatty acids into cells for energy production.
The body synthesizes it naturally, but it's also sold as a dietary supplement marketed for weight loss, athletic performance, and heart health: Some bodybuilders take L-carnitine before workouts.
Found naturally in red meat and dairy products.
