THE FAT TRANSPORTER
Levocarnitine; L-Carnitine Tartrate
L-Carnitine is an amino acid that shuttles fatty acids into your mitochondria to be burned for energy. It's essential for fat metabolism and energy production. While your body makes it naturally, supplementing can boost fat burning, improve exercise performance, and support brain and heart health.
