L-Carnitine, and Acetly-L-Carnitine is essential for the mitochondria of your cells (the furnace) to burn fat as a source of fuel. Without L-Carnitine, your body has trouble burning stored fat. If your levels are low, supplementing L-Carnitine accelerate the fat burning process, allowing you to more preferentially use fat as fuel.

The human body produces enough L-carnitine to survive, higher levels are required to elicit change or improve condition.
