Hi there,

I have just started supplementing Carnitine and am taking Doctor's Best

L-Carnitine Fumarate. The type that is recommended by Dr Sinatra. I

have been feeling a bit itchy since starting and my vision is a bit

weird, I think these are possible side effects. The bottle says to

take the supplements without food but other references say it may be

taken with food. What do you think? There is also another kind of L-

Carnitine supplement called L-Carnitine Tartrate from Now foods. Does

anyone have an opinion on this?

Then there is Acetyl-L-Carnitine, the only type that gets into the

brain but usually not recommended over L-Carnitine for the heart or

general applications. Is it less effective?

What is the best kind to take?

Thanks,

Bob

thanks mjh, i also have a friend who prefers the tartrate over

fumarate as the latter causes gastrointestinal symptoms. i have just

switched over to acetyl-l-carnitine and already feel that i am

tolerating it better than the fumarate. have others compared

different varieties of carnitine? please post your experiences here

if you have... there is also carnitine propionyl, anyone tried

this? also interested in carnosine and any overlap and difference in

properties compared with carnitine.

dr barverman's website looks interesting but i couldn't find the

recommendation for l-carnitine-tartrate there, can you tell me where

i may find the information?

many thanks. bob

I saw Braverman two years ago and had extensive testing. l-Carnitine

tartrate was one the of several aminos prescribed. It is available in his

products

area. I got it in bulk form. Easy to add to water. Healing Nutrients

Within is his aminos book.

I was in a hurry and just grabbed what they had cheap at the store; tartrate. It

has made a big difference. I am taking it w. that sugar and CoQ10.
