L-carnitine Base Powder is a branched non-essential amino acid meant for conditional use. The body can produce it, but the deficiency of ascorbic acid, pyroxidine, iron and niacin causes carnitine deficiency in the body. It is synthesized using two essential amino acids- methionine and lysine. Food items from animal sources are a great source of carnitine. It is highly beneficial for muscle health and the immune system.
