l-carnitine-premium The products works u have to keep the cap on tight, or they will be affected-I bought on sale and was a good buy-Mkie willington Ct. May 14, 2012
Good but disintegrates These seem to be effective, but they absorb moisture too easily. May 9, 2012
Getting past Plateau? Started using this product after a long weight loss effort and hitting a plateau. Noticed increase energy which help keep the work outs going, going stronger and longer. In the end I pushed past the plateau. I did use a larger dose as most of what I read said 1000-2000mgs per day for weight loss. It also mentioned not to take after 3pm as it could upset your sleep, I didn't seem to have any sleep issues, but took my early morning and afternoon. May 8, 2012
IT WORKS FOR SURE it gives me extra boost, nice tightness in muscles, stamina and weight loss effects...i can see my body getting toned after a week of use only. will come back! April 22, 2012
Review from China Hi, I am a doctor in China. I have bought Swanson product for 4 years. My favorate product is L-carnitine, for we eat less beef and mutton in China. I have bought more than 300 bottles for myself, my families, friends, and friend's friends. Wonderful product, big price and direct mail to China, everything wonderful. I love Swansonvitamins!

read the label's Fine Print! I didn't read it, about keeping in its own bottle, and put them in with my other supplements in my 7-day pill case. After 3 days they are MUSH, never seen anything like it. Our dew point's been between 58 and 68, but AC's been on, nothing else is affected. Now the bottle's in the fridge, where I'll likely forget it. July 6, 2011
Crumbs if left out must leave in container or it will crumble due to the quality of product. July 5, 2011
Swanson's Products do work These give you a nice tightness in your muscles and extra endurance if you take them a half hour before your workout. May 6, 2011
Needs a better tablet coating I'm sure the carnitine itself is just fine, but it is hygroscopic and so the tablets are kind of messed up by the time we get to the end of the bottle. It would be good if Swanson would improve the tablet coating. If you have any trouble swallowing pills, get a different form or brand. February 3, 2011
Meh Did not see any benefits from taking this supplement, but that's probably since my body is not L-Carnitine deficient. Did not have any problems with pills breaking down, but area I live has average humidity of about 15%. Was taking 4 pills per day which brings me up to the study recommended level to see effects. Took these while doing workouts that burn an average of 700-800 calories per day. No improvement in fat loss. January 28, 2010
Noticable Yes, it breaks down fast in a moist environment, but that warning is on the container so it's not really a con. Actually it comes in handy when you want the benefit to start immediately. I don't plan my workouts too far in advance so this is fine for me, though I might add that the daily timing should not matter for long haul results. I started using at the same time as three other supplements, then stopped using them one at a time to check the effects. All the benefits were from this. It's no miracle pill but I feel it makes my healthy diet and exercise go farther December 23, 2009
Tablet Integrity While I have been generally satisfied with Swanson Products, this one is below my standards, in as much as the tablet appears to absord moisture and delaminate (or break down) when left in my weekly pill boxes. November 19, 2009
A must supplement for heart health I've been taking this product for quite some time now and get a positive energy boost. However I haven't experienced any real weight loss frankly. In fairness though I started on a weight program about 2 months ago so I may be trading fat for muscle wt at this point. I'm no expert. Only other issue I have is when I take this on an empty stomach I experience major gas problems. My afternoon dose is at work so that can be awkward at times. November 17, 2009
Great Brain food:) I have only started taking this for the last 3 months and combined with Tyrosine, I am thinking like I use to Seriously Try It... November 12, 2009
Poor Tablet Manufacuring The tablet tends to crumble when exposed to room temperature of 75F. October 30, 2009
Pet likes it I give my Eng. Bulldog 3 grams a day and he loves it. October 18, 2009
fantastic Fantastic product...i started using it 3 months ago, together with multiple amino acids...plus i started going to gym (2-3 times per week) and I managed to get my body into shape very fast...i lost 10-12 kg, but managed to get more muscles than before and I don't feel tired after the gym October 4, 2009
Weight loss I take this a half hour before a work out and definately perform better with it. I do not take it on days that I don't work out. But I work out 5-6 days a week. I also lost the hard to lose fat I've been working on all my life. Lost 10 lbs. in six weeks that I couldn't loose before, even with the same workouts. Running faster too. October 4, 2009
L-Carnitine I am a marathon runner. Simply put, I run better when I take L-Carnitine. My legs feel stronger. My stamina is greater. My muscles are more tone. It's a once a day dose which is great. I am a better athlete because of it. September 6, 2009
No Stomach Upset I swicthed to this product from another brand because it has mild fillers that do not cause any stomch upset. August 19, 2009
Tablets verses capsules I have been using your products for 16 years and find them of the highest quality. My only problem is with the L-Carnitine tabs. They fall apart quickly, they cannot be pill packed because they disolve. Please, please make them in capsule form. Thanks! August 15, 2009
Great-value I take one capsule in the morning for weight loss and it seems to be working....same diet, same activity level, 3-4 lbs lost in a month. July 25, 2009
L-Carnitine When feeling run-down, I take one of these tablets, and I am good to go for hours. July 23, 2009
Awesome Product Swanson's L-Carnitine provided me with the enhancement that I needed. This product is generally expensive everywhere else but Swanson had the cheapest price per milligram from all of the other 12 merchants that I checked with. They also offer a quick and easy checkout process and friendly staff when calling to make an order. They don't pressure you or offer you other products that you're not interested in. Overall it's an enjoyable purchasing environment with Swanson. July 22, 2009
Great product. Gives me energy without jitters. Cheap and effective supplement for those who hit the gym a lot! July 22, 2009
