Carnitine, more precisely L-carnitine, is highly appreciated in endurance sports as it can increase the efficiency of fat burning and therefore boost the production of energy from fat
Safety, Dosage, and Contraindications of L-Carnitine L-carnitine supplements are generally considered safe for most people when used appropriately, but proper dosing and awareness of potential contraindications are essential for optimal results and minimal side effects

However, while these potential benefits are promising, more extensive clinical trials are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of L-Carnitine supplementation in post-COVID care
A 20-carbon fatty di-acid chain (C20) is chemically attached to the peptide
Free fatty acids act on receptors including GPR 43, GPR119 and GPR 120, and FFAR (29, 51, 113), and proteins may act through the Ca 2+ sensing receptor (CaSR) which responds to amino acids (24) or the peptide transporter PepT1 (69)
