Ingredients explained
L-Carnitine base
L-carnitine shuttles long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria to be used for energy and helps remove metabolic byproducts from cells.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people; take with water and avoid exceeding suggested use unless advised, especially if pregnant, nursing, or on medications.
Calcium
Calcium supports muscle contraction and cellular signaling by participating in electrical and enzymatic processes.
Caution: High total calcium intake from diet and supplements may lead to constipation or interfere with absorption of some minerals.
How they work together
L-carnitine supports cellular energy production by transporting fatty acids into mitochondria, while calcium supports normal muscle contraction and signaling. Together they align energy use and muscle function during daily activity and exercise.

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.
