I started using this -- two tablespoons in the morning and two in mid-afternoon. I have lost 40 lbs in just a few months and plan to lose another 15 to get to my ideal body weight of around 210. I am 6'2" tall, age 58. I workout regularly 1 hour of cardio 5 x a week and 30 minutes of weights 3 days per week. This is an amazing supplement.

WAS HAVING PALPITATIONS/ARRHYTHMIA AFTER BEING ON KETO DIET. CARDIOLOGIST FOUND NOTHING STRUCTURALLY OR OTHERWISE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSING THESE, SO AFTER SOME RESEARCH I TRIED L-CARNITNINE WITH CO-Q10 FISH OIL AND MAGNESIUM, AFTER A FEW DAYS THE SITUATION RESOLVED ITSELF, I NOW USE IT EVERYDAY. IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THIS COMBINATION BUT IT IS CHEAP INSURANCE FOR THAT CONDITION TO BE GONE, SO I AM A BELIVEVER.

Why didn't i get anything productive done today? Oh wait i know why, i forgot to take my l-carnitine today -me, an Engineering student with Adhd. The effect for me is that i dont feel mentally fatigued nearly as quickly as without this. It has no effect on my ability to ignore distractions though, unlike proper adhd medication.

After using L-Carnitine for one month I have noticed that I have had more energy to do my workouts and in a better mood. I have not seen any negative side effects as of yet.

Starting taking and about 2-3 days later felt more energy then I have for years had starting getting from Wal-Mart but then found it less expensive on line at Amazon. I have taken the Amazon product and have not felt the energy as much but still 100% more active than before but one day I did notice my new slacks bought just before starting that fit a little tight fell off so I went and got a smaller size from the closet and tried to walk downstairs and could not keep them on they were too big and baggy so I went to the next size down and it is loose and baggy but I can function. I then started checking weigh and measurements. I am watching what I eat and mainly on vegetarian with salmon 2 x weekly to help lower my cholesterol. My measurements confirmed by my husband in just this week has gone down 3 inch's bust, 2 inch's in my waist and 3 inch's in my hips. My weight has gone down about a pound but I did have 2 cheat days this week due to family outings. So I went from a size 14-16 to a size 8 with very little exercise as I have a broken hip. I have not taken it long enough to have my cholesterol checked. Total time on medication is about 4-6 weeks.Read More Read Less

After hours of cardio: no result but fatigue. I do have to consider malabsorption so l-carnitine seems an option to support my cardiotraining. My first impression is that it helps recover muscle damage and it seems to suppress hunger. At day 2 I already lost 2 kg. I believe this is due to 'water' retention and/or the optimalisation of waste disposal. I lost 2 kg in two days (water? waste?). I have more energy, hunger is suppressed and some muscle sores are gone. This is day 3 where I rejoin the gym (It may yet prove that the intestines get active making me pauze the workout for a visit to the toilets). No brand found: (or a way to long list: L-carnitine 1000mg/10ml liquid vials by IsostarRead More Read Less

I started using this supplement as part of my weight loss regime. I lift regular heavy weights and cardio for atleast 30+ mins. 5 days a week. L carnitine has helped me in doing more workout time without much fatigue which I used to feel earlier doing the same exercise regime. I am also able to loose fat around the belly area. Really like the product.

Improvement of brain fog, fatigue, ability to stay on track and finish tasks. Improved mood swings anxiety and appetite. Did not help with muscle and joint pain. Taking low dose (500ml) per day, 1 capsule before breakfast. Tried increasing to 1000ml per day but experienced severe fatigue so discontinued after 3 weeks and returned to 500ml per day.

I was taking 500 mg of L-carnatine as a gel tab. It makes me nauseous, unable to focus, and get a bad headache. It also makes me voraciously hungry. I realized after I was taking it as part of the GNC Women's Ulta Mega Active Vitapak and I'd feel sick. I stopped taking the packs and started taking them one at a time, and the L-carnatine was what was making me feel bad. Over all, the packs did help me lose weight. I'm 5'3 and 109 lbs.

There's been anxiety over one study saying L- Carnitine is harmful. Look at the Mayo Clinic's review of 13 studies saying otherwise, including a recent one showing "decreased mortality"in users of over 30%...Many doctors have articles explaining the problems with the mouse study, such as sample size. I would suggest that people worried about it avoid red meat. Fatigue is so crippling that some people need this to have quality life.

I have myophaty and the specialist told me to take 500mg twice a day. Along with other vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin B complex, vitamin B12, vitamin CoQ10 and Krill Omega 3, that I take daily, so I can't give you a description of what any one vitamin does for me. However, I can walk and lift my legs now, and before that I couldn't lift my legs or walk. Thank God! I can now!

I have only been taking this for about a week for weight loss. I had no idea it would help for my fatigue. I was sleeping between 12-15hrs on my days off. I can now function on just 8. It has been a miracle drug for me so far.
