How and when do I use it?
- In theory, athletes most likely to benefit from carnitine supplementation include endurance competition events (>30 mins duration), prolonged high intensity exercise (such as team sports), and aiding in recovery during heavy training loads or resistance exercise.
- Recommended dose is 1.4-3g L-carnitine (2-4g L-carnitine L-tartrate) taken as a split dose twice a day for 12 weeks or longer.
- Each dose should be consumed with a carbohydrate containing meal to facilitate enhanced uptake.
- Shorter term supplementation periods (1.4-3g L-carnitine / day over 3-9 weeks) may be considered where reduction in muscle soreness and damage incurred by heavy exercise is the goal.
