L-carnitine, sometimes known as levocarnitine, is best known for its ability to help your body transform fats into usable energy. It's involved in the energy production process, making sure your cells' engines (mitochondria) burn those fats efficiently.


While your body can create L-carnitine on its own, some may need an extra boost, especially if you follow a vegan diet or face genetic challenges in producing enough. That's where supplements come in! For all of its hormone-related health benefits*, L-carnitine isn't talked about enough. Pair this with its versatility, and you have one of the most underrated vitamins out there.

Ingredients (per serve): N-acetyl L-carnitine (1.5g).

L-Carnitine may:


  • Improve insulin sensitivity in PCOS, helping to lower insulin resistance*
  • Support metabolic health by reducing cholesterol & triglycerides*
  • Positively affect body weight, body mass index (BMI), and body circumference*
  • Regulate menstrual cycles*
  • Reduce stress levels*
  • Safe whilst TTC
  • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Safe
  • Vegetarian & Vegan Friendly

Swallow fast

I was surprised it was a powder as previously other suppliers have been tablets. I would prefer tablets as it hard to measure half a scoop and is so bitter to drink. It ruined a coffee. I didn’t repeat using that as my liquid of choice.

Didn't agree with me

I found that this product gave me diarrhea whenever I took it. So have had to stop taking it unfortunately as I was keen to use it for its benefits.

L'Carnitine

This medicine has helped bring my periods back. Haven't been seeing much improvement with my weight yet. But I am hopeful this should help. Really appreciate all the support Drew has given with his Instagram and YouTube Videos.
