Where does L-Carnitine occur in our diet?
L-Carnitine is part of our daily diet. Red meat (e.g. lamb, venison and beef) is particularly rich in L-Carnitine. Fish, poultry, milk and breast milk contain smaller amounts, while foods of plant origin contain very little, if any, L-Carnitine. On average, we consume about 100-300 mg dietary L-Carnitine every day.
