The daily intake in a typical diet of the lipid transport substrate, L-Carnitiine, ranges from 2 mg to 300 mg.

The normally prescribed dose of Carnitor, the prescription version of L-Carnitine, is 990 mg.

The prescription dose of Carnitor is equivilent to slightly more than 2.25 lbs of beef per day - which is an amount larger than most Doctors are comfortable requiring their patients to eat, unless they're Cuban.

If you have lost 85% of your mitochondria due to d4T poisoning, prescription Carnitor can often improve the throughput of the remaining mitochindria by supplying all of the raw material the mitochondria requires to produce ATP, the actual food source for cell function.
