Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino-acid derivative that helps the body convert fat into energy. After you eat, the compound takes the fatty acid molecules from your food and brings them into a cell’s mitochondria so they can be broken down and used for energy. Though carnitine is usually found in the skeletal muscles, heart, brain, and sperm in adequate quantities, you can turn to red meat and diary for an extra boost.
People with certain conditions such as peripheral vascular disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), alcohol – included liver disease (cirrhosis), diabetes, and kidney disease should talk to their doctor before taking carnitine. Also talk to your doctor if you are taking AZT, doxorubicin, isotretinoin, or valproic acid.
