N-acetyl-L-carnitine is a dietary supplement which breaks down in the body to produce carnitine. L-carnitine (the active isomer of carnitine) is useful in metabolism of fatty acids. Check the animation in the related links below to understand that biochemistry of L-carnitine

One has acetyl in front of it.
Carnitine is an amino acid, a building block of some proteins. The L simply means Levo (Latin for "left")that the molecule is arranged with its functional group on the left side when drawn as a chemical diagram.
All L-carnitine is the same. You should buy the product which gives you the most L-carnitine at the lowest price. Brands that claim to be better probably aren't, with one exception: if it says pharmaceutical grade and is standardized, it might be a better product.
Very few or no vegetarian foods contain L-carnitine. L-carnitine (carne) is named as it is because it is found in foods derived from animal muscle tissue.
I believe l-carnitine is an amino acid produced by the body and also made syntheticly
