: OK, a friend gave me some Ephedrine and a jug of Carnitine-L for some weight loss at the end of my rather large cycle........Just what the hell is this Carnitine?.....I can't get a straight answer...Is it a fat burner? Is it a caffeine thing? What? Please help.
: Thanks. A Great Canadian.
Since nobody else wanted this one.... It's supposed to be a fat burner, but its main 'selling' point is that it supposedly helps endurance athletes. The effective dose was rather high though and there are conflicting studies as to whether it worked or not. Do a search on medline as I don't remember the dose. It was too iffy for me to waste my time and money on but maybe Cycling Steve or another of the 'roadies' that reads the board has tried and can help. Anarchy in the USA!
