L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays a role in how your body turns fat into energy. By helping transport fatty acids into the mitochondria (your cells’ energy centers), it supports natural energy production and fat metabolism.

It’s also a favourite for supporting focus and mental clarity, especially on busy days or during movement. Many in our community describe it as their secret weapon for a little extra “mental edge” when they need it most.

What is the recommended dosage?

The recommendations for L-Carnitine Tartrate is 1,000 to 4,500 mg per day


When is the best time to take L-Carnitine?

Ideally taken about ½hr before a workout.


Does this contain caffeine?

No, l-Carnitine is free from caffeine and a great non-stimulant alternative for energy.

Mix one level scoop in any liquid you like either 30 minutes before activity or in the morning.

Please Note:It's a 5ml scoop, but with the low density of the powder, 1 level scoop is equal to 3g L-Carnitine.

L-Carnitine naturally has a bitter taste as well, so we do recommend mixing it with something flavoured, whether it be Balance or something else.

They changed formulas

Unfortunately they changed the formulas for this and for Balance. The flavors are a lot different. But the worst part for me is, my cysts came back. I’ve been taking their supplements since 2021, and they always worked for me. Resolved my cysts, hormone levels, and periods. I cannot say the same now after taking these for 3 years! I do not know what’s going on but I miss the old Healthy PCOS formulas, even if it meant waiting for 2 weeks from Australia :( I never had an issue with those and they always worked so well for me.

Taste is Horrible

It's nearly impossible to mask the taste of this. The taste is horrible. My daughter and I were both trying this product so I bought 2. It's just not worth trying to hide the taste.

Tastes AWFUL!

The taste is so bad that it made me feel like I was ingesting some kind of chemical...very off putting. I took it once and couldn't continue. I was also turned off that they provide a scooper w/o the proper measurements....what's the point of that? Half a scoop?? Stop it! Just include a scooper w/ the proper dosage.

Not the same

Recently the formulation has changed on this product. The taste is now awful and it curdled my coffee. Putting it in tea wasn’t great either. Water is the only way to drink this now, and it’s still bad. The “half scoop” serving instructions made me do some math and saw that it was half a teaspoon. Not a big deal, but I cannot do the taste. Before the formulation change, the product had no taste. Even though I did see results with the former formulation, I will not be repurchasing this one. Had it for a little over a month now and have only used it a handful of times.
