Carnitine is a kind of B vitamins, its structure is like amino acid, so some people classify it as amino acid. Its main function is to help transport long-chain fatty acids to provide energy. This prevents fat accumulation in the heart, liver and skeletal muscles. There are three forms of synthetic carnitine: L-carnitine, dextrorotatory and racemic. The effect of L-carnitine is better. L-carnitine is a compound with a variety of physiologically active functions. The main function of its Chemicalbook is to promote fatty acid β-oxidation; it can also adjust the ratio of acyl groups in the mitochondria and affect energy metabolism; L-carnitine can participate in the metabolism of branched chain amino acid metabolites. Transport, thereby promoting the normal metabolism of branched chain amino acids. In addition, L-carnitine plays a role in the elimination and utilization of ketone bodies. It can be used as a biological antioxidant to scavenge free radicals, maintain membrane stability, and improve animal immunity and resistance to disease and stress.
