L-Carnitine

L-carnitine is an amino acid that may support energy levels, cognitive function, and metabolic health. It works by helping transport fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they can be converted into energy to support lipid (fat) metabolism.

Research also suggests that L-carnitine may assist with mental clarity and focus, making it a great addition to your overall health routine! It's like having a “mental edge” our customers say.
