Used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations to support fatty acid metabolism and energy production in cells. Enhances cellular uptake of long-chain fatty acids by facilitating their transport into mitochondria, where they undergo β-oxidation. Applied in research on metabolic disorders, muscle fatigue, and neurodegenerative conditions due to its role in improving mitochondrial function. Also investigated for potential benefits in weight management and exercise performance supplements. Exhibits better membrane permeability compared to free carnitine, making it suitable for topical and oral delivery systems targeting skin health and cognitive function.
