NOW Supplements, L-Carnitine 1,000 mg, Purest Form, Amino Acid, Fitness Support*, 100 Tablets

WOW, results in photos speak for themselves!!!

I've been taking supplements for 2.5 months (a little over 10 weeks) after getting horrible news of my very high cholesterol. A small change in my diet to limit red meat to once every other week, eating only lean proteins (chicken, turkey, fish), increasing fiber, and supplementing as seen below massively lowered my cholesterol. Cholesterol tested 12-14-2017 was: â€¢ Cholesterol = 262 mg/dL (normal is 100-199) â€¢ Triglycerides = 134 â€¢ HDL Cholesterol = 53 â€¢ LDL Cholesterol = 182 (normal is 0-99) Cholesterol Tested 3-15-2018 was: â€¢ Cholesterol = 197 mg/dL (normal is 100-199) (WENT DOWN 65 POINTS!) â€¢ Triglycerides = 106 â€¢ HDL Cholesterol = 49 â€¢ LDL Cholesterol = 127 (normal is 0-99) (WENT DOWN 55 POINTS!) My morning supplements taken with oatmeal was: â€¢ 1 Now Foods Probiotic-10? 50 Billion - 50 Vcaps (2-Pack) pill â€¢ 1 Vitafusion Men's Gummy Vitamins, 150 Count (Packaging May Vary) pill â€¢ 2 Nature Made CholestOff Original Caplets w.

I got this supplement routine after reading tons of reviews online for cholesterol supplements as well as reading a bunch of articles online on what supplements help lower cholesterol. I am super stoked about the results I just got from my Dr. I will try and update in 3 more months to see how much lower my total cholesterol went, as well as how low LDL becomes

It works !

Take this as a part of your losing weight regime and you will see the difference. It definitely gives you more energy. I feel like I can workout more , and be more efficient at it . The more effective exercises are , the faster you lose weight . I can say that taking it's liquid form is better but it also feels like tablets last longer so it's cheaper this way. Also , make sure you swallow it fast because it starts dissolving immediately in your mouth , if you don't , you'll experience a weird aftertaste

Part of a fat burner stack I am taking

I'm using this as part of a fat burner/weight loss stack. Its supposed to increase my metabolism and rate of fat loss. Current stack consists of this, CLA, and Green Tea Extract. Best price I could find for L- Carnitine is right here. Swanson has best price on green tea caps by far; Green Tea 500 mg 100 Caps and lowest CLA price I could find Pure CLA 1250 Supplement - Super Hi-Potency Softgels - GMO-Free - Try it 100% Risk Free! . Why there are comparable brands with the same ingredient profile out there that are almost double the cost is beyond me but that's amazon for ya

Took for months, did not realize detrimental effects

I after doing some research on Carnitine's fat burning effects made L-Carnitine a staple of my supplements for 6-8 months. In this time frame my results started off great, but I noticed that I was as sluggish as I could be. I would have a hard time staying awake and I felt CONSISTENTLY drained no matter how much sleep I got. Fast forward to me reordering L-Carnitine and reading a negative review about the detrimental effects it has on Thyroid hormones (specifically T3 & T4). I went and got blood tests done and my T3 and T4 were lower than normal, I couldn't believe it! I stopped the L-Carnitine immediately and my energy levels have bounced back. I did some research through reading academic scholarly articles and found out that L-Carnitine for some weird reason although does help burn fat, it also acts as an ANTAGONIST to your T3 and T4 hormones which help keep you alert, regulate your metabolism, and awake. I basically was self inducing Hypothyroidism by taking these. Research has shown that that they are actually great if you have HYPERTHYROIDISM. But not the other way around. After my experience, I can NOT recommend these pills at all

Faster Recovery, Improved Strength Gains

I started taking L-Carnitine originally for it's touted fat burning benefits, but instead found it more helpful for recovering from my workouts and achieving faster strength gains. I recover way faster now, and I have put 40lbs on my bench press in just a little over a month, which is really fast for me. (all my lifts have improved dramatically)My cardio endurance has really improved as well. One of the best benefits is better mental functioning and memory, which I was starting to have trouble with from a lack of sleep. This stuff is actually used to treat Alzheimers patients to improve mental functioning as well as heart attack victims to rebuild cardiac tissue. This stuff rocks, and now I won't be without it

Great supplement

Been taking this daily for 6 months now. It has increased my energy, made me pretty regular in terms of bowel movements, and I've seen my appetite suppressed a bit. Highly recommend. I'm 43 years old, 5'9" 175lbs. I highly recommend

Works great for a hyperthyroid issue!

I was experiencing many symptoms of hyper thyroid problems, palpitations, out of breath, shakiness, anxiety, but after only a week of taking 2 each morning (with magnesium) the issue was solved. Feeling great now and no lingering signs of over active thyroid. I only take one a day now

Each pill is uncomfortably large, double up on the 500mg instead

I couldn't speak to any improvements, I have a carnitine deficiency so I'm not taking it for the same reasons most people will, but supposedly these are doing the trick. However, I strongly recommend trying the smaller pills from NOW instead (500mg) and taking two, as these are the largest pills I've ever taken in my life (seriously, they're gigantic). Every day I'd scratch my throat/esophagus with them. I tried taking them with different liquids, and bigger gulps with no luck. I might have a smaller throat than most, but I doubt it, and have never had an issue with any pills before

Helps neuropathy

While I was hospitalized for problems caused by chemo, I asked about how to get rid of the neuropathy that was caused by the chemo. Two of the Drs recommended that I use this to keep the chemo caused neuropathy from getting worse during the course of my treatment. I have to say it hasn't gone away completely, but it sure does help
