Carnitine is an essential cofactor required for the transport of long-chain free fatty acids into the inner mitochondrial matrix, where they enter the beta-oxidation pathway for cellular energy production.
There are several forms of carnitine, but acetyl-ʟ-carnitine (ALC) is the preferred active form which has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and may therefore be useful in conditions affecting the nervous system.
