What is carnitine?

Like most nutritional supplements, carnitine should not be used by everyone. However, anyone who suffers from insufficient carnitine production, supplementation could be beneficial to their health. 
Carnitine is a naturally produced substance that is produced primarily in the liver and kidneys. It is biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine. The body also assimilates carnitine from food with red meat the most prominent source.
Carnitine deficiency is seen most in vegetarians. So for people who don't eat red meat (beef), carnitine supplementation may be recommended.
