L-Carnitine Tartrate

Here is one supplement that people have been using forever with little success. Usually taken in the form Acetyl-L-Carnitine, L-Carnitine is marketed as a fat loss supplement as the amino acid plays a critical role in transporting fat to the mitochondria of the cell for energy.

The potential of L-Carnitine is great as it doesn't stop there. There may be cognitive benefits as well as liver health.

But it really hasn't been very impressive.

Recently though, some studies were published about L-Carnitine Tartrate. Here is a study that showed 1g supplementation of it after a work significantly reduced muscle soreness and stress markers.

Other studies have been published that show the same form upregulates androgen receptor activity.

In light of these recent studies, I purchased some L-Carnitine tartrate as it is not that expensive. I will be posting my thoughts about it in the future.
