Frequently Asked Questions

What does L-carnitine do in the body?

L-carnitine acts as a molecular shuttle, transporting long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane where they are oxidised (burned) to produce ATP -- the body's primary energy currency. Without adequate carnitine, fatty acid oxidation is impaired, potentially affecting energy levels and metabolic function.

Is L-carnitine vegetarian-friendly?

L-carnitine is naturally found predominantly in red meat and other animal-sourced foods. NOW L-Carnitine 500mg is specifically produced using a vegetarian (non-animal sourced) fermentation process, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans who wish to supplement carnitine without animal-derived sources.

Can L-carnitine support weight management?

By supporting efficient fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial function, L-carnitine may help support the body's ability to utilise fat as fuel, which can complement a weight management programme alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise. It is not a standalone weight loss supplement.

Is NOW L-Carnitine 500mg suitable for vegans?

Yes, NOW L-Carnitine 500mg is vegetarian-sourced and formulated in vegetarian capsules, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is produced without animal-derived ingredients under strict GMP quality standards.
