🚌 WHAT DOES L-CARNITINE ACTUALLY DO?
Think of L-Carnitine like a shuttle bus for fat.
Fatty acids are a potential source of fuel, but long-chain fatty acids need help getting into the mitochondria — the little “power plants” inside our cells.
Carnitine participates in that transport process, allowing those fatty acids to enter mitochondrial energy metabolism.
In simple terms:
It doesn’t magically burn fat. It helps get the fuel to the power plant. ⚡
That distinction matters.
Stay curious, research friends. 🧬
