Encyclopedia: Carnitine
Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine. In living cells, it is required for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria during the breakdown of lipids for the generation of metabolic energy.

' Rooster Comb ' Shots FDA-approved
Q: What is this I hear about using some type of "rooster comb" to inject into the knee joints for arthritis?
A: Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) - also "wear and tear" arthritis - is common in the knees of the middle-aged and older, perhaps to millions of people worldwide. The normally smooth, shiny cartilage surfaces of the joint start to wear and there is a compromise of lubricating joint fluid. The process you are referring to is called viscosupplementation, and involves injecting hyaluronic acid to act as a joint lubricant. This is a natural-occurring substance found in normal joint fluid. The early form of the drug was actually manufactured from rooster combs - hence, the layman's term. Much of it now is synthetically manufactured.
