I suppose it would not be necessary to break them up...that is alot of work.
I could not find any comments in papers about empty stomach vs with food, but did find that l-carnitine is absorbed in the intestine partially by passive diffusion and some active transporter. It is the transporter that has the ceiling of ability.
So if you take it on an empty stomach it might work better.
Remember we make our own carnitine, and unless this is damaged you already have some. You don't have to flood your body with it.
The RX drug Carnitor, does not have directions or warnings about taking with food or not.
People who get positive effects from carnitine report less muscle fatigue as evidence it is working. So you may see improvements, and that would reaffirm your taking it correctly.
