Carnitine is called by many an amino acid, however it is not an amino acid in the strictest definition, but, because it has a chemical structure like an amino acid it is usually put in that category, The main function of Carnitine in the human body is helping transport long chain fatty acids. These fatty acids are burned inside cells to provide energy. This is a major source of energy for your muscles. Thus carnitine is used in health supplements to boost energy, prevent fatigue, and maintain the human body.

Carnitine also increases the use of fat as an energy source thus preventing fat buildup in the heart, liver, and muscles. By doing so carnitine reduces poor metabolism health problems like diabetes, high tri-glyceride blood levels, obesity, weak muscles, and heart disorders.

Carnitine has the added benefit that it increases the effects of both the anti-oxidants vitamin E and vitamin C.

Because men normally have more muscle mass than women they require more carnitine. Vegetarians also are likely to need more carnitine supplementation since vegetable protein contains no carnitine.

Symptoms of possible carnitine deficiency include: confusion, heart pain, weak muscles, being over weight or obese.

Medical studies have also indicated that carnitine helps reduce damage from cardiac surgery.

Carnitine supplemental forms include 

L-carnitine, DL-carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine L-Acetyl-Carnitine, L-Propionyl-Carnitine
