L-carnitine

[Deleted member 12684]

I've been taking l-carnitine and noticed an increase in leanness and muscle density despite no significant change in calories or workout regimen.
I take acetyl l-carnitine as a nootropic but this form of l-carnitine had no affect on body composition. I added l-carnitine l-tartrate to the mix and had a noticetable difference in physique.

My experience also supports this 3 week study where they found l-carnitine l-tartrate upregulated androgen recepeptor content. The study was only done on 10 people so it's not ideal but the supplement is worth a shot.

I usually take it in the morning, as well as before and after my workout before a post workout meal.

Anyone else had any experience with this?

i am taking it atm, i usually just take 2 x 1200 mg before i go to do a workout.
it gives me a nice boost before workout, dunno if it increased my muscle mass/leanness because i've been using it for past month only.
We'll see in a few months.

I usually trim facial hair or shave regularly so not noticed.
