anyone use this stuff? sussposed to be key in boosting metabolism? any thoughts/reviews?

L-carnitine is very similar to the nonessential amino acid carnitine. It performs some of the same functions, such as helping metabolize food into energy.*

L-carnitine is synthesized in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine. L-Carnitine is available as a high quality supplement from Bodybuilding.com, as well as from natural and synthetic sources. It is also found in avocados, dairy products, and red meats (especially lamb and beef).


L-carnitine transfers long-chain fatty acids, such as triglycerides into mitochondria (a cell's energy powerhouse), where they may be oxidized to produce energy.* L-carnitine is a very popular supplement that promotes growth and development.* It is also used for fat-burning, increasing energy, and improving resistance to muscle fatigue.* L-carnitine also helps to build muscle.* It is also great in dieting, as it reduces feelings of hunger and weakness.*

Studies have been conducted on L-carnitine since as early as 1937. Those studies yielded positive results suggesting that the body's cardiovascular system can greatly benefit from its intake.* There are a variety of published studies that suggest L-carnitine is useful in increasing the heart's output and improving it's functioning, as well as stimulating the heart's energy supply and supporting cardiac performance.*

L-Carnitine and CLA work well together.

yup, illegal in Canada

NHPD is reviewing joint scientific assessment of L-Carnitine in order to determine whether it should be removed from Schedule F, have its Schedule F listing modified, or remain unchanged in Schedule F. In other words to see if it should be taken off Schedule F and made legal for sale and importation.

CLA and l-carnitine will cost you much more than what it`s worth. I`m not saying I know everything, but if by now with the time both those supps have been out with the total lack of guys saying "this is the shit" I`d spend my money on stuff that actually works= ephedrine+caffeine or clen with t3.
