Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Carnitor is a carnitine supplement. Often used w/ depakote, should be tested using blood levels first to see if it is needed. Carn-aware is something very different. Just FYI - not the same things at all! Both are types of supplements.
