Levocarnitine (L-carnitine) is a natural amino acid that plays a crucial role in the body's energy metabolism. It is used as a dietary supplement or medication to treat carnitine deficiencies, which may result from genetic disorders, malnutrition, or certain chronic diseases.
Levocarnitine helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are converted into energy. It is used in the treatment of conditions such as metabolic myopathies, chronic kidney failure (especially in patients undergoing dialysis), and in some cases of chronic fatigue.
Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or an unpleasant body odor. It is important to take levocarnitine as prescribed by a doctor, especially when used as a medical treatment.
