Supposedly, supplementing with L-Carnitine (it's an amino acid.. like Creatine or Glutamine) will keep your body from storing as much excess fat, moving it all along to the mitochondria to be burnt up and disposed of.
Is this a bunch of BS? Or has anyone tried it and had decent results?

L-Carnitine does help the body to oxidzie "brown fats"....Carnitine also plays a roll in BCAA metabolizm.
I use Acetyl-L-Carnitine which is almost 2x as expensive as L-Carnitine. I don't use to many supps so to me it's worth it..
