Here's a more in-depth description: www.lef.org/magazine/mag2006/sep2006_report_carnitine_01.htm?source=search&key=chronicIntro: "An inevitable consequence of aging is a rapid decline in our cellular energy levels. The outward effects often manifest as a sense of overall fatigue, depression, and sexual dysfunction. The internal effect of a cellular energy deficit is a greater vulnerability to a host of degenerative diseases. The prime reason cells lose their energy-producing ability is that the powerhouses of the cells—the mitochondria—become dysfunctional. Research has shown that the amino acid carnitine is critical to maintaining optimal mitochondrial function and supporting high energy production. Carnitine is responsible for fueling the fires of energy production at the cellular level. Without this valuable nutrient, the mitochondria are unable to burn dietary fats to create the energy we need to live. Scientists have discovered several different forms of carnitine that, in addition to bolstering energy production, produce health benefits that include protecting against neurodegenerative diseases, alleviating depression, stimulating nerve growth, and improving heart function."

I looked for it in Boots (big chain drug store) yesterday but it wasn't there. Might have to try health food shop or online.

I feel like my old self again. Seriously, I haven't felt this good in a really long time. I have been sick since last September. I had to lay in bed all day after taking a trip to the grocery store. Everything was exhausting, I couldn't think, I couldn't function. Every single day was a struggle. I will say though, that if whatever I had was in fact viral, then maybe I'm finally just getting over it and that's why I feel better. But I can't help but notice the DRASTIC change in how I felt after beginning this supplement. The second day I was on it I felt like I could run to my classes and I was just giddy with excitement that I was back to my old self. Since my semester has ended I have been going to the gym every day walking/running for an hour. Before, just walking up one flight of stairs would cause me to clench my chest in pain.
I tell everyone, it's worth a try and even if it doesn't cause such a drastic change in how you feel it still has properties that help overall long-term health. I swear by this stuff. I know it's working and I highly recommend it!

OH and I was taking it 3x a day but I cut it to 2 because I couldn't sleep because I had so much energy. I take one in the morning and one at about 3pm. I like this dosage better because I don't feel all cracked out like I was before. I recommended this stuff to a classmate. This guy doesn't even have health problems; he's actually in picture perfect health. He started taking these pills and he texted me saying "I feel like I wanted to run to class." I found it so amazing because that's what I was saying when I started taking it. It just makes you feel like running everywhere. LOL And I HATE running!

I have always been an athlete and it was so hard to accept the fact that I had to lay down in bed after every single little thing I did. I hated it and was so depressed about it. Nothing worked and not one doctor could figure it out. I really think I did catch something viral and it just knocked me on my ass for so long. The infectious disease doctor I saw said it could take up to a year to feel normal again. I'm coming up on 10 months now and FINALLY feel normal. I really think this supplement has a lot to do with it. I'm just happy to be my old self again. I can't get over how good I feel. I was beginning to worry that I was stuck that way forever. I REALLY hope it works for everyone else this well too.

I'm excited - I get to start it Friday!!
My doc said they are staples in the brain-boosting supplements. And the thing is, it's stuff that our bodies need anyway, but we just don't get enough of. I know you can buy the two ingredients together but I chose to purchase them separately so I can modify the doses a bit better. My body is so damn quirky that I thought it would be the best route for me.

I want to check with my naturopath when I see her in a few weeks if I could start taking this supplement. It would be wonderful to not feel so exhausted and tired all the time.
I'm glad you are feeling more like yourself Jenaya. That's wonderful news.

I'd be really interested to hear what a naturopath has to say about this stuff! I have to see my neurologist in about 2 weeks and I'm going to ask him about it too. I want to know if he's heard about it and if he thinks this is the stuff that fixed me. I'm guessing he won't give it any credit since most doctors don't think natural treatments work but I still want a doctor's opinion on it. It was recommended by an endocrinologist so there must be something to it! I still can't get over how good I feel.

WoW I'm going to talk to my docs about this stuff. I am taking 6 supplements now and we are starting easy and light for now. I am ready for a miracle pill tho too. Something that gives me energy everyday. I will say tho the supplements are working and I am amazed at a difference they can make. Jenaya ever try protein shakes? A little almond milk some fruit and my supplement mix is a huge pick me up. One in the morning and one in the afternoon.
