Amino acids are the fundamental components of proteins and are needed in many internal functions of the body. They are divided into "essential" and "non-essential". Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot produce, but must obtain from the diet to maintain good general health. The body can also use amino acids to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient transporters. An insufficient supply of essential amino acids increases the body's need for non-essential amino acids that must be obtained through the diet.

Carnitine is an amino acid produced in the body from two other essential amino acids: methionine and lysine. L-carnitine is important for fat metabolism, especially in cardiac and muscle cells. Helps transport long-chain fatty acids to cell mitochondria, where they are burned and used as fuel. Meat and dairy products are rich sources of carnitine, but it may be necessary to take a little carnitine with the diet, as it is an amino acid considered conditionally essential.
