It is still rather expensive however. That is its biggest drawback. It is available on RX as Carnitor, so some insurances may pay for a portion of the cost leaving you with a copay. Carnitine fumarate is the same OTC version as the RX and made by the same company. It is available at www.epic4health.com
I only use carnitine when I am working out heavily. It really helps with muscle pain and helps me avoid that discomfort. |
Do you know how long it would take to work if it was going to do anything? The link I posted above states that it was taken for 30-60 days but im sure I read elsewhere that it has to be taken for longer... Also any idea what the best dose would be, again I have read elsewhere that the dose ranges between 1000mg and 3000 mg a day, im not sure what the optimal dose would be...
