Who Takes L-carnitine?
 

I Read Yesterday That Someone Here Takes 1500 Mg Of L-carnitine A Day....................i Could Only Find 250 Mg At Eckerds..........how Much Does Everyone Else Take?

I ordered some the other day form swanson vitamins, they had 250 and 500mg sizes. (500mg was $10.50 for 60 tablets) I haven't taken any yet but their recomended dosage was 500mg a day.

That was probably me. I take 1500 mg. of L-Carnitine per day and take 500 mg. capsules, so it is 3 times per day on an EMPTY stomach. I also take Chromium Picolinate. :)

Oh, and I get my L-Carnitine at a vitamin shop...I don't buy it at the grocery store...they usually have the lower dosage, as you found out.

The best price and most reliable service I've gotten on vitamins is www.vitamins.com. This is the same website at puritan.com, but different prices.


I paid about $12 for a 60 ct. bottle of 500mg. L-Carnitine.

I can't remember what I pay for mine...I think it is about $15 for a bottle of 100 500 mg. caplets at The Vitamin Shoppe store.

What does L-carnitine do for you?

KristyC,

Hi - Why do you take them on an EMPTY stomach? I take both and take them with my meals. Do you think they are helping you? I have not noticed a change and it's been almost 2 weeks.

Thanks,

Thanks Everyone !
I Ordered 500 Mg From Swanson.......$20 For 120.....
I'm Willing To Give It A Try !!
Kristyc.........how Many Mg. Of Chromium Picolate Do You Take?

Jmaleyz........
I've Heard That It Helps Use Your Body Fat As Fuel, And Gives You Increased Energy.........i'm Sure Someone Here Knows More Than I Do. I've Just Today Started Taking Them.

L-Carnitine helps with the metabolism of fat and is a good supplement for heart health, as well. The lady at the health food store, whom I know very well, said it is most effective if taken on an empty stomach, so that is what I do.

I take 1000 mg. of Chromium Picolinate per day. It helps with sweet cravings, for one thing...helps curb them.
