L-Carnitine

[JayC]

I know this has been around awhile and still debated but... How many of you guys still use it?? ...and what benefits have you noticed, if any?? I still do but it took taking doses of 2-3gms and higher for over a month or two to really see the effects. They aren't drasitic but I have noticed better muscle endurance/energy in the gym and a slight leaning effect on my body.

I believe ALCAR is a derivative of L-Carnintine, no? If so, I take a couple grams of ALCAR every day. It seems to elevate my mood. It's also in a few thermogenic supplements.

I believe you are supposed to use it with another amino, for bf loss, but i can't remember which one, lol! It really doesn't work all that well, unless you are taking mega dosages and it is minimal.

Free form l-carnitine isn't all that great. However alcar (acetyl l-carnitine) and other carnitine forms are pretty nifty. Arginocarn and glycocarn, and possibly others from sigma tau always looked interesting to me. Also, propionyl carnitine (plcar) is supposed to be good as well.

PLCAR is just as good as ALCAR. I generally mix either of them with Choline.

Great info guys.. thank you! I'm going to try the other forms and see if that makes a difference. I've never tried the other forms.
