 L-Carnitine, A Wonderful SupplementApr 08, 2012
By Dawn Ritter
This is a supplement that initially I took for more energy and it may be my imagination but I seem to have a lot more energy and it seems like I look a little slimmer but I have not had any significant weight loss just yet. I have been taking it for almost three weeks and I have no negative side effects to report.
As a side note, and although this is not the reason I took this product in the first place, L-Carnitine seems to be having some type of synergistic effect on the Vinpocetine Bulk Powder 25 Grams I take for mood stability and focus.
Vinpocentine has always been a major part of the more natural route I am taking to stay emotionally balanced and mentally alert and with the surprising impact that L-Carnitine has been having on these aspects, I am pretty darn excited.
Do some research, I can't explain everything that I have learned here in a product review. But I can say that I feel like this is a high quality product and am so far very happy with the results...

Makes me "more vivid"Aug 12, 2011
By Pam P.
I ordered this after reading extracts on the pubmed site (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed). Science is (and should be) a conservative and exacting thing, so the reports are limited in their conclusions. However, the test results on acetyl L-carnitine are, in aggregate, extremely impressive and suggest that ALcar is a profound nerve and brain protector.
I started taking 2 capsules a day. I didn't notice any change, so I quite for a while, then started again. My husband, who didn't know anything about my stopping and restarting ALcar said that I was back to being "more vivid," meaning mentally sharper and quicker. I didn't notice the change, but he did.
I am taking 4 capsules a day now. This brand works, so I'm sticking with it.

Almost what I want...Jan 03, 2012
By Janet Knori
My neurologist suggested years ago that I try this ALC for energy and a clearer mind. It does almost all that... but if I take the recommended three per day, I get hyper and don't feel right, so I take one a day, and it does a little good. It's not too expensive, and is probably doing my brain some good - I can still spell! - so I keep taking it. It may stave off Alzheimer's for a while yet.
I'm 71 and still feel about as bright as I did 10 years ago.
Go for it!

A brand that I trustAug 19, 2010
By PT Cruiser
"PT Cruiser"
Acetyl LCarnitine is an amino acid (building block for proteins) that is naturally produced in the body and can help the body produce energy. It's used as a supplement for lots of purposes including Alzheimer's, late life depression, thinking problems related to Lyme disease, and for nerve problems such as neuropathy due to diabetes or pain due to certain drugs. I ordered it for a family member at the suggestion of the doctor for neuropathy due to the after effects of chemotherapy. So far it hasn't helped, but this is a difficult thing to treat and sometimes just takes time. At any rate, we're trying a second bottle.
I've ordered vitamins and supplements from TwinLabs in the past and have been happy with their products. It's sometimes difficult to tell if a supplement is really working or if a condition just improves on it's own or if the improvement is just a placebo effect (You expect it to work and it's actually your positive thinking that makes it seem so.) But there's one vitamin, Niacin, that produces a harmless flushing effect if you don't get the buffered version, and I could tell by the flushing that the TwinLabs product was being absorbed better than some other brands I had tried. So I've continued to buy their products because as far as I can tell they usually seem to work.

Energy fro WithinAug 06, 2009
By William B. Rodenhi
I have used Carnitine for several years both in training for bodybuilding and triathlons and found that it provides me with endurance type energy without feeling wired. I can just keep going and going and really enjoy my workouts. It is energy from the cellular level within the body and not a glycemic spike. I found that my energy level was consistant throughout my workouts and was there if I needed it.
