Abstract
This article highlights the key biological roles of L-carnitine in the human body. L-carnitine facilitates the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production. The article also examines its use in sports medicine, cardiology, neurology, and metabolic disorders, as well as the consequences of its deficiency and its therapeutic potential.
