Carnitine is an amino acid and a quaternary ammonium cation complex
This paradoxically indicates that the peptide is active, though it can be inconvenient

[35] One study focused on 27 patients with epilepsy who had motor and intellectual disabilities requiring an enteral nutrition formula diet fed via tubes (known to contain less carnitine), and who had also been prescribed valproate sodium (an anti-epileptic drug)
460 The biosynthesis of NAD + in adipocytes is crucial for the extension of HDF-induced white fat depots and may have more specific effects in lipid accumulation and processing
