Carnitine is a type of amino acid that:
• Helps to burn fat, using it like energy.
• Lowers triglyceride levels.
• Helps you to train longer, by decreasing muscle fatigue.
• Allows the muscle to store more glycogen*.
 * Glycogen is for the muscles like gasoline is for cars. 

For many years it was said that L-Carnitine should be taken on an empty
stomach. Recent new studies say the opposite.
The best time of consumption is with meals high in carbs.
