I am not going to write a lot about what L-Carnitine does to me because people react differently to dietary supplements. Speaking for myself only, I do seem to respond to taking on tablespoon prior to my near-daily few miles run on the treadmill. For the 'science' there is good Wikipedia article discussing its positive effects as an antioxidant, on weight loss, aging, diabetes, heart, kidneys and so forth. WebMD states that "L-carnitine helps the body produce energy. It is important for heart and brain function, muscle movement and many other body processes."

It's probably worth mentioning that the product does not contain a number of ingredients we can all do without. There is no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish, or artificial colors/flavors and the makers claim that it qualifies as a vegetarian/vegan product.

I have researched and read multiple articles about the benefits of taking L-Carnitine prior to a workout. You experience a bigger calorie burn when you take it prior and this an excellent product because in its liquid form will work immediately and you do not have to take it 30 minutes before your workout like a pill form. I take a Tbs prior to every workout and have noticed an increased weight loss and increased calorie burn. The most recent study was published in Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine in the July edition, check it out if you get a chance, it also encourages stacking this with caffeine anhydrous for a higher fat burning duo.

4.0 out of 5 stars I was recommended this..., February 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I notice some energy boost but was told that it would speed up the metabolism more while dieting and working out. Didn't notice any huge difference but I think it had something to do with my 25 lbs lost. But still recommend dieting and exercise while taking it.
