L-carnitine is an amino acid found in high concentrations in heart and liver tissues where, inside the cells, L-carnitine transports fats into mitochondria for energy production (i.e., ATP).* L-carnitine is an important cofactor for energy production from fats.* *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration
In this environment, they undergo fermentation by the gut microbiota, which contributes significantly to energy production and the generation of various bacterial metabolites
Based on the available research and recent developments, it appears that both direct pharmacological effects and indirect effects through weight loss can improve sleep apnea
