Or would a can of Red Bull have the same effect?
I stumbled onto L-carnitine by accident. But in powdered form, it is so easy to take, I thought why not? I. The first thing I noticed was that if I took the supplement late in the day, I had difficulty getting to sleep. Not insomnia, but a sense of having a bit more energy than usual—at least enough to make me want to get up and “do something,” — which I noted was remarkable. That experience made me wonder how the supplement would affect my energy level if I took the it first thing in the morning. But you know how it is! So darned hard to determine with any certainty whether a supplement or medication really works because we want so desperately to tbelieve any positive “effect” we might have from using it is real and not imagined. ♀️⛹♀️
L-carnatine is far from a miracle. The supplement DOES make a positive difference in my IBS issues—though hasn’t that fact already been determined to be true by studies done over time with chemo patients? And if L-Carnatine really does increase energy, how might that possibility be related to recent research indicating a gut connection to CFS?
