I have mixed feelings about this product. I bought it to help burn more fat as part of my goal to lose 30 kg, and I heard that L-Carnitine could be he
...lpful. At first, I was only taking one pill before training, but after doing some research, I found out I might need two pills (1,000 mg) per day for full benefits. Now I take one in the morning and one in the afternoon before training. It does seem to give me a bit of energy, but I’m not sure if it’s a noticeable difference yet. I’ll keep using it and hope to see more results over time.

Although I don't have special chemicals or a microscope to objectively test the Acetyl-L-Carnitine I think it has a higher concentration of ALCAR
... than other brands I have tried. Also it seemed another brand caused me to have a runny nose.

I'm putting this out there for other folks in cancer treatment taking a hedgehog inhibitor and having the side effect of severe muscle cramps and
... bone pain. I have been on Erivedge (Vismodegib) 1 month on, 2 months off (chemo holiday) for over 3 years. Cramping starts for me between week 1 and 2 an continues typically for 10 weeks. This time my cramps pretty much ended at 2 weeks into my 'holiday' - that is a big improvement!
I found that taking 1000mg 2 times a day cut the cramps and pain by about half after the first week. On advice of oncologist I went up to 1000mg 3x day and the relief is significant, this in terms of frequency, and duration of the cramps and severity. On the pain scale this took me from a 10 down to a 3. I wish Thorne sold it in larger quantities. I am going to try another brand that also has none of the magnesium stearate and other filler things that I react to. Grateful and hope I continue to get this relief.

I swear by this stuff and have been taking it for years. Started taking it during menopause for brain fog and it helped so much. Stopped taking it for
... years and then when I turned 60 I started noticing I was struggling a lot to remember things and come up with the words I was looking for. Found myself saying "I can't remember" more than any other phrase in my life, and then remembered the Acetyl-l-Carnitine. I started taking it again about 3 years ago and swear by it. I take just one 500mg. every morning and it really helps my focus. For a long time I felt it helped my focus, but not so much my memory. But as time went on, I really notice that even my memory is a lot, lot better. I would not recommend taking more than one at a time. Just personally, when I took two, my head hurt and felt wierd and sort of hyper and uncomfortable. When I just take one, I don't feel any side effects at all. When I don't take it for a few days, I definitely notice that I am struggling a bit more for memories and words. I hope it works for you too. Oh, and Thorne is the brand that works the best for me, and I have tried many brands. It's a bit expensive, but not bad since I only take 1 a day. DO NOT TAKE IT BEFORE BED. Take it in the a.m. I am not a doctor and these comments are just based on my personal experience.

As another reviewer pointed out, Acetyl L Carnitine is a great supplement for hyperthyroidism. It's well-documented, and I learned about it throu
...gh my own research after my diagnosis. The supplement is not a cure-all -- but helps tremendously with symptoms such as anxiety, racing heart, sleep problems and other hyper issues. (It has other health benefits, too, but I'm talking here about its use for hyper-thyroid patients.) This brand works especially well and is of great quality. I like the fact that each pill is 500mg, and you can opt to take it in divided doses to spread throughout the day.
I was experiencing some thyroid flare-up symptoms recently, and took one of these in the morning, and another in the afternoon. I was amazed at how quickly my symptoms subsided -- and how much better I felt by the end of the day (and how much better I slept that night). These helped put me back on track very quickly. I'm very grateful for this product, and I wish more endocrinologists would talk to their patients about this.

Thorne is expensive, but it’s one of the highest quality brands of supplements on the market. I buy a lot of supplements due to ongoing chronic
... fatigue and histamine intolerance. It’s always readily apparent when a supplement is of poor quality because my symptoms flare. I take one of these in combination with a multi B and sublingual NADH and, depending on the day, it feels like I’ve had a nitro brew coffee (on a good day) or makes me functional so I can work (on a bad day). If you read the research on this supplement there’s an upper limit on mg you should take before it could cause heart issues. Unless you’re abusing this supplements dosage recommendations by taking over 2 grams a day, you’ll never come close to the dosage the research indicates is deleterious for your health. More importantly, if you follow the recommended dose on the bottle it’s way below the recommended limit. As someone who often has days where I can’t even get out of bed this supplement is a godsend and worth every penny. On really bad days I’ll take one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I highly recommend this product for anyone with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia.

lore
I began taking Acetyl-L-Carnitine five weeks ago. I was looking for something to help regulate serotonin because I've had several bouts of seroto
...nin sensitivity and cannot take antidepressants (and a lot of other drugs). It seems my body either produces too much serotonin or doesn't dispose of it naturally/efficiently. Since taking Acetyl-L-Carnitine I've noticed my fingertips have an improved sense of feel (a bonus). I'm sleeping better, waking up rested. I'm also calmer. Because I am hypothyroid, and take levothyroxine (Synthroid), I must be conscientious about timing between doses of levothyroxine and the new supplement (that can interfere with the absorption of Synthroid). I take the Acetyl-L-Carnitine late in the day. So far I haven't noticed any negative side effects. As with any significant supplement I recommend seeking advice from a physician before taking it.
