I just figured carnitine, which also receives tons of hype, would fall into the same category.
People initially thought of it as a fat burner because of it's role in transporting fat cells to mitochondria to be burned for energy, but it's never once panned-out in clinical trials, even when used intravenously. David seems to have a stance on it like I have on arginine. It doesn't do what's advertised, but that doesn't mean it's not healthful to take and doesn't have other applications.

It's great to see that the discussion has grown so quickly!

As for Carnitine-L-Tartrate (CLT) I have literature reviews pending on another site, but they're taking forever to get published.

My guess is that CLT isn't widely publicized yet because companies don't have any CLT-containing products to sell. Yet.

[The dreaded double post! I have to say something cool so that no one will notice (must think quickly!)]

If the other CLT articles aren't published soon I'll do a quick write up for SherDog.
I know we don't have to wait long when MikeM is on the job!

Thanks, Dave. I know jack shit about Carnitine, I guess I should change that.

Interesting topic.

Is L-Carnitine Tartrate the same as L-Carnitine L-Tartrate? I saw both written as ingredients.


Sucks to be you Mike, apparently you can't import it into Canadia.

(And me when I go home)

I was going to try and sneak some through with a TP or BN order and see if Customs actually snagged it.

1) Where have you been.

2) Where the hell is your AV.

3) Related to #1, why haven't you been posting here.
