Why did you choose this?

Works

I chose this to hopefully help my muscles

Great for brain function and memory health

Helps with brain fog

Life extension organization recommends 1000-2000mg per day. Anyone taking this amount? any side effects?

Best Answer:  I have hypertension, weigh 130 lbs and take 500 mg a day. I get heart flutters at night if I forget to take it in the morning. My BP has been 120/80 more or less with medication, and all tests with my cardiologist have been normal since I've added the carnitine.

Some medications like anti-convulsants and medical conditions can deplete carnitine. Your MD can test you for carnitine levels and recommend proper dosage.

I recommend Dr. Stephen Sinatra's books on Metabolic Cardiology in which he discusses the full protocol, and a physician who practices integrative medicine who can proper.

These statements are not to be considered as medical advice. I am sharing only my experience with this nutrient.

What size are the pills? I have a hard time taking large ones.

Best Answer:  The capsules are 7/8 inch long and 3/8 inches wide. The outside of the capsule is sticky and difficult to swallow. I have to take with kefir or a thick liquid.

Is the gelatin pork or beef?

Best Answer:  This uses a combination of porcine and bovine sourced gelatin.
