Hey guys,
I was skimming through the Atkins book the other day and on the supplements section they mentioned Acetyl-L-Carnitine as an element that is supposed to support the whole ketosis process? Does anyone have any specific information, or has tried it themselves and know anything in more detail? Thanks so much!

I've taken it for a long time before I started eating this way. An MD recommended it. I take acetyl-l-carnitine with CoQ10 (a Kaneka version of it..they have a patent) along with B-vitamins, Vitamin E and either Vitamin D or Omega 3 fatty acids. The ACL transports the fatty acids inside the cell. It's good for the mitochondria, the energy powerhouse of the cell. I have a lot of energy when I take this "mito cocktail".0
