    I just started taking it per recommendation of my trainer.

    I take MRM L-Carnitine 1000 Tropical Berry flavor.. Stuff smells like crap but tastes ok.

    As far as if it works, I don't know yet.. It's only been over a week! :)

    I haven't tried it; are you using it for energy? I use B-12 supplements.. I take one after lunch and before I workout.. Seems to give me a pretty good boost of energy after eating and before working out...

    Its been shown to be effective at improving performance in steady state type exercise. You need to take it with high cabohydrate meals as it seems insulin is required to increase muscle total carnitine content..It also appears to require long term supplementation.
