L-carnitine is a compound with multiple physiological functions. Its main function is to promote the β-oxidation of fatty acids; it can also regulate the acyl ratio within mitochondria and affect energy metabolism; L-carnitine participates in the transportation of branched-chain amino acid metabolites, thereby promoting the normal metabolism of branched-chain amino acids. In addition, L-carnitine plays a role in the elimination and utilization of ketone bodies, can act as a biological antioxidant to eliminate free radicals, maintain membrane stability, enhance the immunity of animals and their ability to resist diseases and stress, etc.
