Nutricost L-Carnitine Tartrate Powder (100 Grams) - 1 Gram per Serving; 100 Servings

This works, gave me energy!!!

I can generally tolerate the taste of supplements when mixed into water. But not this one. Fortunately, this one tastes okay when mixed into low sodium V8 juice.

2 scoops mixed in my preworkout and I'm good to go. Will sweat like a mofo!

My doctor suggested I purchase l-carnitine as well as the acetyl version of carnitine for fatigue and brain fog. The pills at the office were really expensive so I decided to look for alternatives on Amazon. This powder version was a much better price point and I like that there were none of the fillers like silica, rice flour etc, that come with taking the capsules and tablets. I also like the pleasant tart lemon flavor the powder adds to my water. I definitely notice some effect when taking it. I feel more alert, awake. I often mix it BCAAs and Glutamine as my homemade preworkout drink as well. My doctor suggested taking it with d-ribose which gives it a little sweetness. My only complaint is with the packaging. At least with the smaller jars 3 ounce jars. The scoop that comes with it has a tiny handle and the mouth of the jar is small. So every time I want to use this powder I have to dig my fingers in the jar to find and grab the scoop. I always end up with sticky fingers and powder spilled on the counter. It’s so annoying. Also, I notice the powder isn’t as fine, over time, it’s clumpy and sticky. Probably from twirling my fingers in it every morning. I was almost going to switch to taking the pill version because of how messy this is, but I actually enjoy the taste of this powder in my water. I plan to look for a different container I can pour this powder in, and maybe search for the right measuring spoon with a longer handle, or just keep the scoop it comes with separate from the powder. I’ve tried other brands like Jarrow and Now, I don’t notice any difference in quality or effectiveness when comparing to Nutricost. Nor with the $70 bottle of carnitine pills I purchased from my doctors office. That said, save your money, and just get this one.

Maybe it's just me but as my first container was getting low I decided to toss the freshness packet because it was getting in the way. By the next time I opened it it strongly smelled of fish food. I couldn't get the thought out of my head. I took a taste off my finger and it still tasted fine but the smell was so off putting that I tossed it since I was at the end already and order a new container assuming it was because I tossed the freshness packet. I just opened my second container and the nauseating fish/fish food smell is in this one too. A freshly sealed container smelling horrible. I don't remember my first container smelling like this when I first opened it.Is this how this is supposed to smell??

I mix this with my oxyshred and it has got me to my goal weight.

This seems to be helping and for a lot less than other brands. I mix it after breakfast and dinner.

I saw You Tube videos about his version of L-Carnitine.I had taken L-Carnitine before years ago, but aside from a very slow weight loss benefit, didn't keep taking it over the years.I started working out again and wanted to try and find something that would address my andipose (old fat storage) issues.Well, lo and behold, this stuff works!They were right.It actually goes to your worst fat areas, like my low belly, butt, and the backs of my thighs, and that is where it is coming off first. I kid you not.It does what they say.Be sure to eat a fast acting carb of exactly 1/3 cup of carbs just before working out. This activates the miracle of the TARTRATE in the l-Carnintine...like putting lighter fluid on a fire.I take two little spoons before the workout and 4-6 after.It really gives me energy for the workout and post workout soreness is greatly reduced.Have had zero side effects. No jitters. No sleeplessness. No upset stomach.Be sure to stay hydrated. Drink a whole sipper of something besides carbonated sugary drinks while working out. I blend up my own 1/4 cup of green pumpkin seeds in a blender with 4 cups water. Add a little Stevia or molasses or a Tablespoon of honey. It really helps the workout and is very healthy for you.
