I took this amazing amino acid as a fat burner, after a few days my mood had significantly improved. This seemed connected to the LCA. After some research, I found out how much LCA improves mental health. In 2018 there was a study done that showed people with depression, anxiety, and PTSD had low levels of LCA, it has been the first biomarker discovered for depression. Also, my skin has improved since taking it. I am over the moon to have accidentally stumble on this little power house.
Acetyl carnitine is amazing. Was struggling in college with basic memory and learning functions. Once I took acetyl l carnitine combined with alpha lipoic acid. My learning ability and memory abilities shot through the roof. Literally. Next thing you know I started being a tutor for every a class I was taking. I wasn't getting paid but I was helping other with issues. This is something I was not able to do in so many different subjects. That supplement is extremely powerful, amazing and life changing.
@@LifeDIY of couldn't I'm still taking it. I love it. Lol but I can't enroll in school right now. I'm doing good though. Currently self teaching myself trigonometry right now along with a few other engineering subjects. I plan on becoming a math tutor by summer or fall. Also other things also. I recommend you not to take more than 400 or 500 mgs of the acetyl carnitine a day at least for 2 to 3 months. Its extremely powerful and can overwhelm your brain. Happened to me before a few times. May just been for me idk if your brain will react the same in that bad way.
I always use L-carnitine when I’m trying to lose fat. Nothing has ever worked so well. I think the injections or infusions work best. Acetyl l carnitine is amazing for energy and mental stamina. If you combine B5 and acetyl l carnitine it works to reduce acne.
This one video answered all of the questions I had surrounding taking L-Carnitine. Detailed explanations which is exactly what I needed. Thanks so much Thomas!
Thank you Thomas! Best for brain & memory: Acetyl L-Carnitine ...and helps you burns fat. Acetyl L-Carnitine - absorbed better in the morning and you'll get better neural function. Take with ALA (helps reduce free radicals).
I had anxiety, fatigue, and sinus tachycardia due to hyperthyroidism. After just 2 days of treatment, my panic attacks, lethargy and sinus tachycardia have disappeared. My heart rate went from 105 resting to 79. Amazing amino acid
I been working out for 12 years off and on like most through ups and downs. Your channel is great and very imformative for us guys that don't want to buy a bunch of hyped up expensive supplements that don't really do anything. Thanks!
Thank you for what you do. You break things down perfectly to understand. Obesity and Alzheimer’s runs strongly on my mom side of the family so I’m always looking for something to help with that. Thank you.
homas DeLauer - Great video, as always. Lots to learn on your channel. Note: L-carnitine shuttles long-chain fatty acids (14 carbons or more) into the mitochondrial matrix (inner membrane space), including VLCFAs after they have been shortened by the peroxisome. But not fats less than 14-C. Carnitine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid for those who work out vigerously (and preterm infants + some people with genetic defects). Interesting that humans synthesize carnitine from the common amino acid, lysine, or better put, from the substrate TML (6-N-trimethyllysine), which is derived from the methylation of the amino acid lysine.
You recommend taking L-Carnitine in the morning for the best effect. You also recommend taking it with Alpha Lipoic Acid. Will taking either of these in the morning cause an insulin response if I take it in the morning? I'm doing intermittent fasting and I don't want to break my fast.

Hi Thomas, my question is this: I have been using L-carnitine for the last couple of weeks and I love it!! I have taking 1mg n the morning on an empty stomach, before my workout 1.5mg, BCAA's during my work out, then 1.5mg after the workout and 1.5mg with my evening meals. Now I want to incorporate acetyl L carnitine HCl and L Carnosine and L citrulline. I have gotten some information and some half advice. I really want to do this right. Because I have an SVT/MVP but I'm finding that L-carnitine is healing it, and all the benefits of the others I just want to take it properly. I workout everyday alternating HIIT and weight training almost almost per day where I will skip one or two days of HIIT or Weight training hope that makes sense. Thank you!!!

Excellent...no harm giving this a try. My plan is to take just in the morning. With supplements, I never take according to recommended doses. The body continues to function with or without supplements. So, over-dosing may do more harm than good.
Great video Thomas, but a lot of people have been asking if taking L-Carnitine will break a fast during intermittent fasting? Can you please advise? Thanks!

Could you do a video on your favorite supplement stack, why you mix that stack for the day together, and when and how often you take them along with dosage.
I am trying NAT L-Tyrosine, L-Thenanin, and L-Carinitine. Was going to try ALPHA GPC with L-Thenanin, and L-Carinitine but trying NAT L-Tyrosine first.
is it necessary to take amino acid supplements only on an empty stomach? first thing in the morning? how long after eating? very informative videos. thanks
TR P that’s true, you need a bcaa plus eaa formula. They don’t work without the remaining EAAs. So by a formula that is a mix of BCAAs & EAAs. That’s what I do
Good morning Thomas, pls do an updated video, I'm wanting to try l carnitine but some videos state it's not what it's cracked to be-2022. Thank you for all your time, wisdom & keeping us as a hungry for optimal health community informed! Many blessings to you my friend.🙏❤️
Just stumbled on your channel... you've got some fabulous information. Thank you for your all hard work! One thing I haven't heard you talk about is dosage. And since the same chemical can affect the body differently at depending on dosages, I think your videos would be potentially be incomplete to not talk about it.
Um you skipped the dosing, timing, amounts. Please give us the info. Starring on this in a week, and need to know this info. Thanks for the great video!

CLA is like soap for the inner body. Its dissolving fat in a fast pace. And you can feel the inner fat being dissolved, when you take it. And your weight drops very fast.
I took this when I was just using up my stores of supplements I bought on sale. I’m 100% convinced L-carnitine was the reason I lost several pounds of fat and increased vascularity like crazy in the last month. I hit a plateau for about 4 months, maybe losing 0.5 lbs of fat a month, very modest. I had about 4 bottles of l-carnitine I drank in that month and I QUICKLY went from kind of vascular pumped up, to vascular at all times of the day. I believe thats because it helped rid my body of small amounts of fat in certain places. I have a CRAZY low carb diet, and I still lift 6 days a week, but I had plateau’d for months, and in the past month the only thing I changed was drinking those expiring l-carnitine bottles. I can now see veins near my stomach and near my lats, something I’ve NEVER seen before in my life. In addition to a very strict diet AND hard workout program, I believe that supplement was what pushed me over the top.
Thomas, you talked about the two different kinds of Carnitine and how they work but in the end did you recommend the Acetyl form over the non-acetyl form? Also you didn't clarify dosage of either of them. Any thoughts on these items? Thanks!
Question: what would you rather take? Acetyl-L Carnitine?... to transport LCT to the mitochondria for energy ... or... MCT Oil?...for direct use of energy..?? I mean, wouldn't those "stored fats" be broken down if we already use MCT oil as our energy source??
Hi there: regarding topics I have a question. Let's face it: not everyone is 100% disciplined. A cheat meal can turn into a binge or overindulgence. My question is: what effect does this have on the body instantaneously and is there an effective measure that can be taken to try to counteract the damage. My apologies if you have covered this already: and thank you.
Hi thomas, how about L carnitine with green tea extract in a capsule form? What's your opinion on that? We have it here where I live and I've used it before. But I'm also planning to buy the acetyl L carnitine soon. (It's kinda expensive 😅) I'm trying to loose my extra baby weight that I gained back again. I'm also nerding out all your vlogs. I started taking creatine 2g for the nootropic effect. As a mom who is always tired with a toddler. 😅 Anyways, I don't know if it works already but I kust started yesterday and I feel great though. I woke up earlier than before like 5:30 to 6 ( before 11am or 12nn🤦♀️🤷♀️). Anyways, what do you think taking 50g of l carnitine with 25g of green tea extract? Thank you.
@Thomas Delauer You have post a lot of videos on supplements such as L-carnitine and L-Arginine but can you do a video that lists which ones are safe in a fasted state. And L-Carnintine should be taken with food, Will it still have an effect or not as much ?
Thomas, first of all thanks for all of the informational videos. Here are my questions. How do we incorporate Carnitine, Argentine and/or Citrulline Malate, into a Keto and IF lifestyle?
Hi Thomas, so you also mentioned to take straight after training l-carnitine, creatine and leucine... Now, how does this match with taking alpha lipoic sup together with acetyl l carnitine in the mornings? Can you take it twice a day? Many thanks
Thank you for covering this particular topic. I have a question though. Can you take L-carnitine and acetyl L-carnitine on the same day? I usually take L-car. capsules before my workout and acetyl type on a recovery day.
Where is the best place to purchase a good brand of L-Carnitine?? I have checked out Vitamin Shoppe, but they have so many different brands of L-Carnitine and Acetyl-L-Carnitine!! What's the best brand to buy??
JeffriesAnitra I follow a fitness youtuber and she takes the NOW brand but she said the brand shouldn't matter. I bought one but it's the vitamin shoppe brand because they doesn't sell the NOW brand.
UNRULY MARSHA I just noticed your picture girl......OMG!!! You are fit honey, hell I need to be talking you about getting in shape. Are you on Instagram?
Thomas DeLauer great video as always. I guess my question is the same as many people as I stroll through the comments. My question sir is if I take this in the morning will it break my IF? My IF eating window is 2pm to 10pm. Thank you sir in advance for commenting. Also anyone reading this that may can answer this question I would truly appreciate it.
Hey Thomas ,Quick Question: Along with Keto diet I am taking carnisure 500,silybon 140 and primosa 1000 will this combination expedite my fatloss and thinning my skin. Thanks.
It makes me sweat and gives me plenty of energy when I workout, and idk if it’s weird that I feel it run through my entire body like a tingle sensation 😂💪🏾
Hi! Just subscribed and I can say your channel is really professional and all the videos are well done! Can you tell more about plant based diets and what supplements vegans and vegetarian athletes are missing? Keep up the great work!
Changing gears from this video - The issue I face is that now I lost 60 pounds and I am finding it very hard to really build muscle and my body is in the "squishy" stage. Really soft around the stomach, legs and arms. Its very upsetting. I work out 3 to 4 times a week. I mean I have muscle but is still flabby around it all too. I was 240 and now 180. I'm 5' 5". What would I need to do to get more solid? I'm thinking keep going. Consistency. But not sure. Can you make a video on how to break through this problem Thomas? Thanks
This is a big one for us women. Can't get any real clarity in this one. I went down to athletic body fat and still didn't have muscle. Was very soft. Now I'm trying to build muscle, and no matter what i do, the muscle mass goes up in line with my body fat. It's like I'm meant to be soft.
Have you tried avoiding or limiting the use of oils when cooking? Organic avocado oil or organic extra virgin olive oil is best. No deep fried fatty foods, no corn oil (Yuck!), little to no sugar, definitely no soda. Stick to a whole or mainly whole plant-based diet very little meat protein, if any. Limit stress - particularly for women, as this increase cortisol and fat storage. Eat your last meal of the day two to three hours before bedtime, and be sure to get plenty of sleep/rest.
Jeez!!! You've got some monstrous guns there, bruh! Can we achieve those solely on keto diet and pumping iron? I have a feeling there's more to this than just those two.
I eat healthy and I train 5 days a week. I do intermittent fasting as well. my weight is hitting plateau now and I need to lose some more fat. What should I take? Should I take l-carnitine and cla together for best results?
Everything that I’ve researched about L-carnitine sounds great and I would like to use it as a supplement. However, I’ve also run into articles that say if you’re hypothyroid (like me) not to take it because it blocks the thyroid hormone. Can you talk about this or recommend something similar for those of us who are hypothyroid? I was looking forward to use L-carnitine but now I’m not sure.
So it would be bad to take BOTH Acetyl l carnitine and l carnitine together? Also, I know many people have asked this in the comments already but it hasn't been answered: Do these supplements break a fast?
Studies have supported that it is critical to take l-carnitine with carbohydrates in order to ensure proper uptake. With this being said, take L-Carnitine with 20 to 30 grams of carbohydrates and ideally 20 to 30 grams of protein for ensuring proper uptake into the muscle cell. Taking this with breakfast or your pre-training meal are perfect times to use L-carnitine for maximum benefit.

@@maravaldez5513 Acetyl-L-carnitine is a valuable addition to your daily supplement routine, especially if you’re an athlete or you’re looking for anti-aging benefits. One gram a day seems to be a good place to start. From there, you can increase or decrease the dose as you see fit.
Just subcribed. I have MS with cognitieve problems and lack of energy. I have 2x a week physiotherapy. Which carnitine do you recommend. Thank you a lot for sharing youre knowledge with us.
Will my L-Carnitine liquid supplement break my fast if I'm on an IF program? Its serving size is 15mL and it has 10mg Pantothenic Acid and 1500mg L-Carnitine per serving. But the ingredients list also says: Vegetable Glycerin, Purified Water, Citric Acid, Natural Lemon Flavor, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate. Apparently this supplement is free of sweeteners, but its incredibly sweet.

I also want to know about this..... Can we take l-carnitine and ALA during fasting period?
Tarun Singh yes u can. I take 2 grams a day on IF. And I'm losing 2100 cal a day. Even though i eat 3k a day or so.
@@yasbethmanzanares5683 they have both in supplement form in one. check it out :)
does it break intermittent fasting?
No but if you take it when your off your fast it does something simaler but totally the same so it adds both of the benifets
Yes it does.
Could you do a video on your favorite supplement stack, why you mix that stack for the day together, and when and how often you take them along with dosage.
I am trying NAT L-Tyrosine, L-Thenanin, and L-Carinitine. Was going to try ALPHA GPC with L-Thenanin, and L-Carinitine but trying NAT L-Tyrosine first.
is it necessary to take amino acid supplements only on an empty stomach?
first thing in the morning? how long after eating?
very informative videos.
thanks
TR P that’s true, you need a bcaa plus eaa formula.
They don’t work without the remaining EAAs.
So by a formula that is a mix of BCAAs & EAAs.
That’s what I do
@@finalprophet813 Thank you guys, I hadn't heard that before.
Good morning Thomas, pls do an updated video, I'm wanting to try l carnitine but some videos state it's not what it's cracked to be-2022. Thank you for all your time, wisdom & keeping us as a hungry for optimal health community informed! Many blessings to you my friend.🙏❤️
Just stumbled on your channel... you've got some fabulous information. Thank you for your all hard work! One thing I haven't heard you talk about is dosage. And since the same chemical can affect the body differently at depending on dosages, I think your videos would be potentially be incomplete to not talk about it.
I love that you put the sources in the description
Thank you, that was an intelligent and informative video. I will try the acetyl L carnitine with alpha lipoic acid in the morning.
Um you skipped the dosing, timing, amounts. Please give us the info. Starring on this in a week, and need to know this info. Thanks for the great video!
Great topic and well said Thomas! What're your thoughts on CLA?
i was thinking about that to

CLA is like soap for the inner body. Its dissolving fat in a fast pace. And you can feel the inner fat being dissolved, when you take it. And your weight drops very fast.
Does cla break a fast?
SwordsHeldHigh is CLA an amino acid?
I work the Night Shift. Please talk more about Night Shift people
Great info. I think I'll take both acetyl-l-carnitine (with alpha lipoic acid) and the regular carnitine.
I took this when I was just using up my stores of supplements I bought on sale. I’m 100% convinced L-carnitine was the reason I lost several pounds of fat and increased vascularity like crazy in the last month. I hit a plateau for about 4 months, maybe losing 0.5 lbs of fat a month, very modest. I had about 4 bottles of l-carnitine I drank in that month and I QUICKLY went from kind of vascular pumped up, to vascular at all times of the day. I believe thats because it helped rid my body of small amounts of fat in certain places. I have a CRAZY low carb diet, and I still lift 6 days a week, but I had plateau’d for months, and in the past month the only thing I changed was drinking those expiring l-carnitine bottles. I can now see veins near my stomach and near my lats, something I’ve NEVER seen before in my life. In addition to a very strict diet AND hard workout program, I believe that supplement was what pushed me over the top.
Thomas, you talked about the two different kinds of Carnitine and how they work but in the end did you recommend the Acetyl form over the non-acetyl form? Also you didn't clarify dosage of either of them. Any thoughts on these items? Thanks!
scramblendan acetyl if your goal is better brain function, l-carnitine tartrate if your goal is losing fat/utilizing fat as energy
will L-carnitine break a fast? also green tea extract and omega 3?
Sir which one best L-carnitine or acetyl- L-carnitine? Please answer me🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just brought mines today it’s slowly working
What are your recommended dosage for first thing in morning?
1-3g
Question: what would you rather take?
Acetyl-L Carnitine?... to transport LCT to the mitochondria for energy ... or...
MCT Oil?...for direct use of energy..??
I mean, wouldn't those "stored fats" be broken down if we already use MCT oil as our energy source??
No they will stay until we will need them
I love your reviews. Straight to the point with a lot of information without boring me lol 👌
When do you take acetyl L-carnitine? Empty stomach or with a meal?
Will Acetyl L Carnitine break a fast? I can't find this info anywhere... I know BCAA's do - but I can't find anything to clarify this...
4:44 are you saying the glucose utilization will decrease? Or it stays constant and you just get more total energy from the fat burning?
Great information! Watched your on ALA too. Good work!
Hi there: regarding topics I have a question. Let's face it: not everyone is 100% disciplined. A cheat meal can turn into a binge or overindulgence. My question is: what effect does this have on the body instantaneously and is there an effective measure that can be taken to try to counteract the damage. My apologies if you have covered this already: and thank you.
Thomas I'm a big fan love your videos man, I would love for you to do a vídeo on L-Arginine Vs Citrulline which works best? Thank you.
Hi thomas, how about L carnitine with green tea extract in a capsule form? What's your opinion on that? We have it here where I live and I've used it before. But I'm also planning to buy the acetyl L carnitine soon. (It's kinda expensive 😅) I'm trying to loose my extra baby weight that I gained back again. I'm also nerding out all your vlogs. I started taking creatine 2g for the nootropic effect. As a mom who is always tired with a toddler. 😅 Anyways, I don't know if it works already but I kust started yesterday and I feel great though. I woke up earlier than before like 5:30 to 6 ( before 11am or 12nn🤦♀️🤷♀️). Anyways, what do you think taking 50g of l carnitine with 25g of green tea extract? Thank you.
Yet another great video! Thanks. What about the dosage of Acetyl-L-Carnitine?
@Thomas Delauer
You have post a lot of videos on supplements such as L-carnitine and L-Arginine but can you do a video that lists which ones are safe in a fasted state. And L-Carnintine should be taken with food, Will it still have an effect or not as much ?
Thomas, first of all thanks for all of the informational videos. Here are my questions. How do we incorporate Carnitine, Argentine and/or Citrulline Malate, into a Keto and IF lifestyle?
Hi Thomas, so you also mentioned to take straight after training l-carnitine, creatine and leucine... Now, how does this match with taking alpha lipoic sup together with acetyl l carnitine in the mornings? Can you take it twice a day? Many thanks
Vitmamin K2!!! (Any supplements you recommend that stack everything together)
*Where do you get your synthol from for your bicep bellies, Tommy?*
Thank you for covering this particular topic. I have a question though. Can you take L-carnitine and acetyl L-carnitine on the same day? I usually take L-car. capsules before my workout and acetyl type on a recovery day.
How you found l carnitine mate?
How does it affect gut health? Can it reduce acid reflux? Thank you!
Where is the best place to purchase a good brand of L-Carnitine?? I have checked out Vitamin Shoppe, but they have so many different brands of L-Carnitine and Acetyl-L-Carnitine!! What's the best brand to buy??
JeffriesAnitra Yess I'd like to know too!
JeffriesAnitra Swanson
JeffriesAnitra I follow a fitness youtuber and she takes the NOW brand but she said the brand shouldn't matter. I bought one but it's the vitamin shoppe brand because they doesn't sell the NOW brand.
UNRULY MARSHA I just noticed your picture girl......OMG!!! You are fit honey, hell I need to be talking you about getting in shape. Are you on Instagram?
JeffriesAnitra No I'm not on there and thank you
How much should I take and when?
Thomas DeLauer great video as always. I guess my question is the same as many people as I stroll through the comments. My question sir is if I take this in the morning will it break my IF? My IF eating window is 2pm to 10pm. Thank you sir in advance for commenting. Also anyone reading this that may can answer this question I would truly appreciate it.
Hey Thomas ,Quick Question:
Along with Keto diet I am taking carnisure 500,silybon 140 and primosa 1000 will this combination expedite my fatloss and thinning my skin.
Thanks.
Hi! I m not an expert but I don't think you should combine them, maybe try to ask at a pharmacy or a doctor. Have a good day!
I think you only need L carnitine and magnesium after workout. Remember, for better results you must do some workout.
It makes me sweat and gives me plenty of energy when I workout, and idk if it’s weird that I feel it run through my entire body like a tingle sensation 😂💪🏾
I took it right before bed and it felt like I was went to a rave for 3 hours! Tossed and turned and grounded my jaw 😂
Ha I know exactly what you mean. I absolutely love the feeling!
Does it suppresses the natural production of carnitine if we supplement for too long ? And how is too long ?
Hi! Just subscribed and I can say your channel is really professional and all the videos are well done! Can you tell more about plant based diets and what supplements vegans and vegetarian athletes are missing? Keep up the great work!
which which form of carnitine is best to take liquid or pills? also is the flavored carnitine good?
@@raginbull9619 . Mm
Can you take both Acetyl and L-Carnitine? If so, how much is too much of either if taken at different times of the day?
Changing gears from this video - The issue I face is that now I lost 60 pounds and I am finding it very hard to really build muscle and my body is in the "squishy" stage. Really soft around the stomach, legs and arms. Its very upsetting. I work out 3 to 4 times a week. I mean I have muscle but is still flabby around it all too. I was 240 and now 180. I'm 5' 5". What would I need to do to get more solid? I'm thinking keep going. Consistency. But not sure. Can you make a video on how to break through this problem Thomas? Thanks
This is a big one for us women. Can't get any real clarity in this one. I went down to athletic body fat and still didn't have muscle. Was very soft. Now I'm trying to build muscle, and no matter what i do, the muscle mass goes up in line with my body fat. It's like I'm meant to be soft.
Have you tried avoiding or limiting the use of oils when cooking? Organic avocado oil or organic extra virgin olive oil is best. No deep fried fatty foods, no corn oil (Yuck!), little to no sugar, definitely no soda. Stick to a whole or mainly whole plant-based diet very little meat protein, if any.
Limit stress - particularly for women, as this increase cortisol and fat storage. Eat your last meal of the day two to three hours before bedtime, and be sure to get plenty of sleep/rest.
How much alpha lipoic acid do you take with it? What about cla? How can these three be stacked and is it beneficial to stack together? Thanks!
Jeez!!! You've got some monstrous guns there, bruh! Can we achieve those solely on keto diet and pumping iron? I have a feeling there's more to this than just those two.
Shush lol
What brands and mg do you recommend of Aceytl l carnitine?
I eat healthy and I train 5 days a week. I do intermittent fasting as well. my weight is hitting plateau now and I need to lose some more fat. What should I take? Should I take l-carnitine and cla together for best results?
Hsuan Chen I think he said take it with , alpha lipoic acid. On 8:08 of the video .
Are you doing HIIT also?
Liposuction
Leave diet for a week and then restart your pleatue will be break
I've never heard of this ultimately clear English pronunciation as a foreigner!! Thanks for you info :)
can i take it while/during fasting
No
Yes you can it. Especially when fasted. it helped me alot.
Thank you Thomas for your informational videos. I was wondering which of the two do you buy?
Everything that I’ve researched about L-carnitine sounds great and I would like to use it as a supplement. However, I’ve also run into articles that say if you’re hypothyroid (like me) not to take it because it blocks the thyroid hormone. Can you talk about this or recommend something similar for those of us who are hypothyroid? I was looking forward to use L-carnitine but now I’m not sure.
Same here
So it would be bad to take BOTH Acetyl l carnitine and l carnitine together?
Also, I know many people have asked this in the comments already but it hasn't been answered: Do these supplements break a fast?
what is the recommended dose for ALC PER DAY ??
When is the best time to take l- carnitine? Also, I'm on a budget. Can anyone recommend a quality, really affordable acetyl l- carnitine supplement?
Studies have supported that it is critical to take l-carnitine with carbohydrates in order to ensure proper uptake. With this being said, take L-Carnitine with 20 to 30 grams of carbohydrates and ideally 20 to 30 grams of protein for ensuring proper uptake into the muscle cell. Taking this with breakfast or your pre-training meal are perfect times to use L-carnitine for maximum benefit.

@@ConfidentlyBeautifulandHealthy What's the recommended dosage?
@@maravaldez5513 Acetyl-L-carnitine is a valuable addition to your daily supplement routine, especially if you’re an athlete or you’re looking for anti-aging benefits.
One gram a day seems to be a good place to start. From there, you can increase or decrease the dose as you see fit.
Great video! What are your thoughts on Acetyl-L-Carnitine on a ketogenic diet?
Paula Rincon God your gorgeous...😉
In ketogenic diet it will give good results
how much should a female take? for how long?
no more than 3g a day cycle off after about 90 days
Just subcribed. I have MS with cognitieve problems and lack of energy. I have 2x a week physiotherapy. Which carnitine do you recommend.
Thank you a lot for sharing youre knowledge with us.

What form or L Carnitine is best ? Capsule, oral liquid or injectable ? Dosage ?
How many mg a day ? 💪
Erin Vaughn 500mg
Should we take acetyl l carnitine & ALA on empty stomach? That's the only way I can take them first thing in the morning since I fast during the day!
Does l carnitinine breaks fast?????
L-Carnitine is a fat transporter so if you don’t eat fat, or are fasting you’re obviously don’t want to take it.
@@Butterflylovely5 That makes no sense. It transports your body fat, that has zero to do with eating fat or fasting
Will my L-Carnitine liquid supplement break my fast if I'm on an IF program? Its serving size is 15mL and it has 10mg Pantothenic Acid and 1500mg L-Carnitine per serving. But the ingredients list also says: Vegetable Glycerin, Purified Water, Citric Acid, Natural Lemon Flavor, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate. Apparently this supplement is free of sweeteners, but its incredibly sweet.
