Re: L-Carnitine/Acetyl-l-carnitine

I usually use L-carnitine; though A-L-Carnitine is supposed to be a better

absorbed form, I have found it caused hyperactivity in some kids (and

adults). Dr. JM

L-carnitine and was sent one bottle of L-carnitine and one bottle of

Acetyl-l -carnitine. What's the difference and can she use it just the same?

Anyone remember what the reccomendation was as to how far away from

protein to take Carnitine? Must it be on an empty stomach or away

from certain other supps?

Thanks,

We give amino acids (including L-carnitine) 20-40 minutes before breakfast, on

an empty stomach. And at an afternoon snack with fruit only.

Since amino acids are proteins I understand that the supplemental amino acids

would compete with any food protein. So the main point is to give them away from

any protein (and many many foods contain protein). A helpful site for

calculating protein and other nutrients in food is www.nutritiondata.com
