What's your take on L-Cartinine? Beneficial or a waste of money?

    I am. I take it before cardio with coffee. Couldn't tell you one way or the other if it's really working.

    I love L-Carnitine with Alpha Lipoic Acid. GNC brand is my favorite. Makes a difference in how good I feel.

    L-carnitine is a waste of money since it isn't absorbed easily taken orally. However, ACETYL-L-carnitine is absorbed and can cross the blood brain barrier. I take it for cognition but it has tons of other neat benefits like cardiovascular benefits and improved coordination. Take it from a chemist/pharmacist, acetyl-l-carnitine>>>l-carnitine
  • Thanks for the advice!!
