L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that plays a crucial role in energy production by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria. It has been shown to improve exercise performance, reduce fatigue, and enhance recovery. However, its effects on weight loss and cardiovascular health are mixed, and high doses may increase TMAO levels, which is a potential cardiovascular risk factor.
