The main function of L-carnitine is energy production. Transports fatty acids into the mitochondria, it promotes their oxidation to acetyl-CoA and conversion to ATP. Carnitine has an antihypoxic and anabolic effect. Stimulates tissue regeneration, increases the intensity of lipid metabolism, improves the metabolism of coenzyme A and, by mobilizing fat depot, inhibits the consumption of proteins and carbohydrates. Another useful property of the compound is the stimulation of enzymatic activity in the gastrointestinal tract, which increases appetite and normalizes digestion.
