Ingredients explained
L-Carnitine (base)
L-carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria where they can be used for energy, and helps shuttle metabolic byproducts out of cells.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people; taking with water and away from large meals may improve tolerance.
Calcium
Calcium serves as an essential mineral for muscle contraction and cellular signaling involved in energy metabolism.
Caution: High total calcium intake from diet and supplements may contribute to constipation or interact with certain medications like thyroid hormones if taken at the same time.
How they work together
L-carnitine supports cellular energy by moving fatty acids into mitochondria, while calcium contributes to normal muscle function and cellular signaling, which can be relevant during activity and recovery.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People who need to limit calcium or who take medications affected by calcium absorption, such as certain antibiotics or thyroid medications, may need extra caution and spacing from doses.
Storage: This hygroscopic material readily absorbs moisture. Store in the original bottle with the lid tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place.

Unlock your potential for a lean, muscular body with Swanson L-Carnitine! A favorite among dieters and bodybuilders, this amazing amino acid helps the body metabolize fat to energize muscles for effective, productive workouts.
L-carnitine is a cofactor—a type of molecule or compound needed by the body to complete enzymatic reactions—in the energy production process. It also helps to transport waste out of your cells, another factor in post-exercise muscle recovery.
Emerging research also suggests that L-carnitine may offer unique benefits for mature adults, easing fatigue and supporting cognitive function.
