L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that is both synthesized in the body and also obtained through dietary sources. Adequate levels of L-Carnitine are required by all species for energy production from fatty acid metabolism.

Abnormalities in carnitine levels have been linked to cardiomyopathy in some breeds of dogs. Evaluation of the role of L-Carnitine in the health and well-being of other species continues to be investigated.
