L-carnitine is an amino acid that plays a role in the body's fat metabolism. L-carnitine delivers fatty acids to mitochondria, which is essentially burned. The amino acids naturally exist, although they can also be synthesized from the other two. In addition to being found in a wide range of foods, it is also commonly used as a dietary supplement.

L-carnitine forms white crystals or white crystalline powder. L-carnitine has a slightly characteristic odor. L-carnitine is very hygroscopic, even deliquescent, and can be liquefied in air. L-carnitine is highly soluble in water, alcohol, alkaline solutions and diluted inorganic acids. L-carnitine is almost insoluble in acetone or ethyl acetate
