L-carnitine and fat burners

Leafing through rec.running, I read Nikolai's message of 05 Nov 2004:

Hi,

I've been using L-carnitine combined with fat burner for an year so
far. I started taking it for weight lost but now it just gives me
stamina and I run better(longer) when I take it.

Have you lost weight? If so, that's probably why you are running better.

Do you know any side effect from it ?
Maybe it is better to be changed or stopped for a while.

Please give advice! 10x

The side effect is a lightening of the wallet. The studies overwhelming
show that L carnitine is not effective.

The theory was worth exploring since the role of L carnitine is to transport
fat into the mitochondria for oxidation. In theory having more transporters
might increase the rate of fat oxidation but it turns out that L carnitine
is NOT the limiting factor.

Sam,
I resisted the idea at first, but I've now come to realize that Bill
is right, you are defeniately an idiot.
The truth hurts.
Cheers!
