    Is L-Carnitine worth the money?

    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..
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    Here is a lot of good information on how important Carnitine is for health and for athletes...

    http://www.horleys.com/html/article_carnitine_body.html

    http://fitness.howstuffworks.com/fra.../brownfat.html

    regarding if it has made a difference. that is tough to really say as my diet is very clean. but I have no problem maintaining a high amount of LBM with low body fat (6'0 240 @ 9-10%)...
