Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are necessary for many internal body functions. It is divided into essential and non essentials". Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot produce but must obtain from the diet to maintain good general health. The body can also use amino acids to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies, and nutrient transporters. An insufficient supply of essential amino acids increases the body's need for nonessential amino acids that it must obtain through the diet.

Carnitine is an amino acid produced in the body from two other essential amino acids: methionine and lysine. L-carnitine is important for fat metabolism, especially in the heart and muscle cells. It helps transport long-chain fatty acids to cellular mitochondria where they are burned and used for fuel. Meat and dairy are rich sources of carnitine, but it may be necessary to take some carnitine with your diet as it is an amino acid considered "conditionally essential."
