bullshit, it has no value as a fat loss supplement, and there are better anti oxidents.

an increase in vitamin c would probably yeild more carnitine in the body. also at the level of protein you take in as a bodybuilder you will have everything your body needs to make carnitine if it needs/wants it.

buy some dbol instead  :D

The problem with L-Carnatine is it gets a bad wrap just like Pyruvate does, because these companies and people call them fat burners.L-Carnatine is responsible for turning food into an energy source, put in simple terms.
Just like Pyruvate, converts Carbohydrates into useable energy.
Both supplements do work, when are used properly and the right amounts.The problem is nobody takes enough of either one of nutrients to give they a fair chance.
For example when the research on Pyruvate was done, they were using 5 grams a day.Most people take one 500 mg capsule and expect it to work.If you take 5 grams of Pyruvate you will notice incredable amounts of enduance, and you get pretty good pumps off if it to.
So with L-Carnatine if you take enough of it, you will notice a little more endurance and more useable energy.
It wont wire you like caffiene but you will have more stamina and consistant energy

It can be useful...depends how it's used though.  Unfortunately, the studies done on it have used no less than 2-3 GRAMS per serving...do the math  :-X
just not good enough

Excellent post from GetItOnNY (as usual).  I felt nothing on 1 gram a day .... but when I jumped it to 5-6 grams before a workout I had better pumps and endurance.  I'm not hawking any brand here either.  Just the truth.

Agreed. I was refering to L-Carnitine.  Still pricey at 5-6 grams though.

Thank you Grant.
You know whats funny, is L-Carnatine, and Pyruvate arent really that expensive raw materials to purchase and bottle.The only problem is L-carnatine, and Pyruvate in there raw form taste like Battery Acid.
Trust me once you try to consume a teaspoon of Pyruvate the flavor is so bad it never goes away.
We used to make a flavored Pyruvate drink mix, that contained 3 grams of Pyruvate per serving.Beleive it or not people to this day still talk about how well that product worked and we stopped product it 7-8 years ago, lol.
I think alot of supplement like L-Carnatine, Pyruvate, and even Kre-alaklyn get a bad wrap because people try it, but they never get the right dosage, and never stay on it long enough.
A perfect example, the makers of Kre-Alaklyn say on there bottle take 1.5 grams  per day.Now Kre-Alkalyn I believe is the holy grail of all Creatines ever created.But the problem is unless you get atleast 4-5 grams a day its totally useless, I mean useless.The sad truth is 1.5 grams of even Kre-Alklayn is even enough for a 10 year old boy, lol.But since Kre-Akayln is so expensive they try ot make it cost effective.
But if you can afford to take 5 grams of Kre-Alaklyn per day, its well worth it.It makes the old Phaspagen creatine for EAS that every one raved about look like baking soda.
Also if you buy Kre-Alkalyn in capsules, take it out of the capsules, and throw the capsules in the trash.Then put the powder in a good carbohydrate drink like Waxey Maze Starch, or even grape juice.Yes Grape Juice isnt a bad transport ,its simple but it works.Just dont drink to much of it, or it will clean your  pipes

No need to get defensive and upset bro. I just notice that you talk a lot about fat loss and seem very knowledgeable on the subject of fatness and loss of said fat 8)

you claim you know much, yet everyone on getbig knows you are another gimmick as proved by the fact you have never and will never post a pic.

 "Fat"panter

I have never claimed to know shit. I just lift and eat, simple, end of story.

If I don't want to be as fat I move more and eat less. You're melting down over this makes me think you're not been successful in your quest to be a less fat panda, yes?

Looks great on paper. Too expensive. There are other forms of Carnitine but they're far more expensive and really not worth it... if I could find a CHEAP ass bulk source I would use it as a staple.

Good to know. Any side effects to taking 5 grams of Pyruvate or L-carnatine, say daily?

As libido boosters acetyl-l-carnitine and propionyl-l-carnitine are pretty good. It can have other neural benefits as well.

As a fat burner, fuggetaboutit.
