Vitamins added to water.... or powders...

I’m reading about the additions of “Acetyl L-Carnitine is a mitochondrial booster” and hydrogen. Does anyone take part in this? What is the general census?which do you use?

I drink plain water. What is the purpose of these additives?

That literally sounds like made up words that someone made up to sell something. In general, if you eat a varied and complete diet, you get sufficient vitamins and minerals from food. Additionally, unless you have a deficiency that needs correction, there's no evidence that vitamins from supplements provide any benefits. You are much better off getting them from the foods you eat.

I have no idea why anyone would need a "mitochondrial booster" unless they had a mitochondrial disorder, which is quite rare. Your mitochondria do not need to be boosted. Like every other supplement that claims to increase fat loss, there's no good evidence for this one: https://examine.com/supplements/l-carnitine/

As far as hydrogen...that's already in your water.

Clearly you've never read the sequel to "A Wrinkle in Time"

Not to mention that if you did have a mitochondrial disorder that it should be properly diagnosed and then treated by a specialist rather than some health guru over the internet who is trying to make a quick buck.
