I've been adding this to my preworkout drink, hoping that it would metabolize fats more in a way that I can see in fat reduction and quality of my strength-training workouts. I haven't noticed any difference, to be honest. Am I using it incorrectly?<br /><br />For about 5 years I've been taking acetyl-L-carnitine as a relaxation and sleep aid, and that does seem to help me. That form can cross the blood brain barrier. Tartrate is known to be the other potent form of carnitine (versus free-form), helping to metabolize fats in the body.<br /><br />And maybe it does. But I haven't observed anything, and don't feel any different taking it.

This seems like a great supplement, but I've never seen an L-Carnitine powder that is granulated like this. Makes me wonder about the purity of it. I did experience some digestive issues when using it, and so I stopped taking it.

I started taking carnitine tartrate last year and it has helped me decrease my body fat levels. I was taking capsules, but I prefer just adding this powder to my pre workout drink. It tastes good and is easy to ingest. Definitely more cost effective in this powder form and produces the same results as the more expensive capsules. I will reorder this product when I run out.

This is a clean supplement. Carnitine is very important for many functions in the body. It’s found in meat, but if you don’t eat a lot of meat, this would be a good source. I got this for my mom, who doesn’t eat much meat.
