L-carnitine, also known as L-carnitine, has a chemical structure similar to choline and is similar to amino acids, but it is not an amino acid and cannot participate in protein biosynthesis. According to Chemicalbook, L-carnitine can be synthesized by humans and most animals to meet their physiological needs, so it is not a vitamin in the true sense, but a vitamin-like substance.
