Physical performance goals often involve developing strength while losing excess body fat. L-carnitine, a compound biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine, can help you burn fat while augmenting exercise performance.

Research published in the journal Amino Acids showed that L-carnitine helps lower blood glucose levels so that fat is used as an energy source. Another study appearing in the Journal of Physiology found that daily supplementation coupled with carbohydrate ingestion resulted in less muscle glycogen being used during exercise.
