Thus, carnitine is required to transport fatty acyl groups into mitochondria and to remove any surplus of acyl groups, as well as to export acetyl- and other short-chain acyl groups from peroxisomes via the actions of a short-chain acyl-CoA-specific carnitine acetyltransferase and a medium chain-specific carnitine octanoyltransferase
Vegetarians and vegans get very little L-carnitine from their diet (about 1012%), meaning they may need to make as much as 90% of their daily needs [65,67]
L-Carnitine is an amino acid derivative that is naturally produced in the body and is often used as a supplement to aid in the metabolism of fatty acids into energy, particularly in individuals with certain metabolic disorders, heart conditions, and those undergoing certain medical treatments that deplete carnitine levels
