Carnitine is essential in the utilization of fatty acids and in transporting metabolic energy. And so it can: 1) Promote normal growth and development 2) Treat and possibly prevent cardiovascular disease 3) Treat muscle disease 4) Help build muscle 5) Protect against liver disease 6) Protect against diabetes 7) Protect against kidney disease 8) Aid in dieting
