Dosage depends on why you're taking it. At the top of this forum there is a stuck thread with various resources for supplements, called "Supplement Resources". Both supplementwatch and wholehealthmd have reviews of Carnitine with dosage recommendations for various objectives. I believe that Dr. Atkins gives recommended doses in his book?

From supplementwatch:

Quote:
Doses of 2 to 6 grams per day are typically recommended for cardiovascular, sports performance and weight loss benefits – although the effectiveness of any dose of carnitine for sports or weight loss effects are not impressive. As a “heart health” nutrient, approximately 2 grams per day of carnitine may provide some benefits in terms of promoting general heart function.
