Introduction to the L-Carnitine Supplement This is an amino acid that is produced naturally in the body by two other essential amino acids (an essential amino acid is one not produced by the body and which must therefore be obtained from food). From the point of view of an athlete, this supplement helps to burn fat. More generally, it helps to prevent the build up of fat in the heart and is used by those diagnosed with heart disease.
The best natural sources are dairy products and meat. If you are taking it as a supplement it is vital that you do not overdose as it can cause neurological damage.
