L-carnitine is a naturally occurring quaternary ammonium compound derived from amino acids that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism. It functions by transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce cellular energy. Because of its essential metabolic functions, it is highly concentrated in tissues that utilize fatty acids as their primary fuel, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle.
