Carnitine is a molecule that transports fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are converted into energy. The active form of this molecule is known as L-carnitine (or levocarnitine) and it supports the metabolic system in generating energy. Although the body already generates it naturally, we can obtain this substance from our diet with foods such as beef, fish, wholewheat bread, chicken breast or tomatoes and carrots.

In addition to this, we can opt for dietary supplements, which are generally associated with effective weight loss. But is this true? L-carnitine does not have a fat-burning effect as such but contributes first and foremost to the metabolism of fats, which results in their increased mobilisation for conversion into energy.

It is also a nutrient directly associated with athletic performance, as L-carnitine helps to improve physical endurance, boosting energy generation during training. Dietary supplements that contain L-carnitine also help the body to recover faster after intense physical exercise. Remember that dietary supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
