C
arnitine has vital roles in the endogenous metabolism of short chain fatty acids. It can protect and support gut microbial
species, and some dietary fibers can reduce the available iron involved in the bioactivity of carnitine. There is also an
antagonistic relationship between high microbial populations and carnitine bioavailability. This review shows the interactions
between carnitine and gut microbial composition. It also elucidates the role of carnitine bacterial metabolism, mitochondrial
function, fiber fermentability, and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs).
