It’s best to take L-carnitine with carbohydrates for optimal results: 

Absorption
L-carnitine is absorbed best when taken with a simple carbohydrate.

Effectiveness
The carbohydrates and proteins in a meal can help L-carnitine be absorbed and transport fatty acids more effectively.

Performance
Taking L-carnitine and carbohydrates together can increase the amount of carnitine in skeletal muscle, which can maximize the benefits of the supplement.

Fatigue
Taking L-carnitine with carbohydrates can help reduce fatigue levels by reducing lactic acid accumulation and increasing the lactate threshold.

Many top athletes recommend taking L-carnitine with a fast-acting carbohydrate 30–60 minutes before exercising.

Others recommend taking 2–3 grams of L-carnitine per dose, along with at least 30–40 grams of carbohydrates and 20–40 grams of protein.

L-carnitine plays an important role in fat metabolism. It also helps regulate metabolic pathways involved in skeletal muscle protein balance, and acts as an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory compound.
