This product seems to tick most boxes as far as the varied type of specialist carnitine compounds which have different mechanisms of action in the body. This should, in theory, give it a superior result for overall health and performance. However, unlike liquid L-Carnitine and Acetyl L-Carnitine, I experienced no energised feeling from this or any subtle shortlived leaning out while on it. With most carnitines I tend to notice a quick burst of daily energy and sometimes a gaunt look to my face and a slight change in skin tone. Subtle effects, granted, but this compound does not seem to do this and instead gives me a ratty energy, sometimes with slight shakes. I believe this may be down to two factors: i) that the spread of different carnitines have different mechanisms of action, and some that create the reactions I am used to are relatively low dose within the formula compared with say - a daily shot of 1500mg L-Carn liquid. And ii) that the integration within a CLA fatty complex perhaps buffers and slows the release of the carnitines. I may be mistaken. I also only take half the recommended dose because I aim for around 1gm total daily carnitines with this formula. The various carbitines in this formula, as well as CLA are backed by excellent and impressive studies, but I think people should be prepared for a different response compared to what they experience with other high dose single carnitines such as Acetyl L-Carn and L-Carn. I believe it is worth persevering with this formula for now because the benefits of some of these carnitines for certain tissues means there are health benefits not offered by standard carnitines. I think it may be a good idea to take a gram of this plus a gram or more of another standard carnitines in order to feel more balanced benefits. it is too early to say whether the CLA is having any effect on me. I have found in the past that CLA needs to be high dose and consistant before it becomes noticeable.
