Re: Anyone Take Acetyl-l-carnitine

I tried this for a while, and unfortunately didn't see anything significant

happen. Ya gotta try though!

Okay, well that's better than a bad reaction. :-) I was worried to even try for

fear it would stop the t3 from getting into my cells!

I had taken l-carnitine for a while and then quit when it came up on some of the

boards that it wasn't a good thing. I got so sick when I went off of it, so I

went back on. I now take 2000 mg. daily, which my naturopathic doc. recommended.

So, for me, it does help to get nutrients and meds into the cells.
