Which is preferable to take - L-carnitine or acetyl l-carnitine?
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.502.994&rep=rep1&type=pdfResults: Clinical global impression of change after treatment showed considerable improvement in 59% of the patients in the acetylcarnitine group and 63% in the propionylcarnitine group, but less in the acetylcarnitine plus propionylcarnitine group (37%). Acetylcarnitine significantly improved mental fatigue ( p = .015) and propionylcarnitine improved general fatigue ( p = .004). Attention concentration improved in all groups, whereas pain complaints did not decrease in any group.
What dose are they talking about?
The propionalcarnitine seems difficult to obtain, and from I've read is given IV by doctors. Any other info would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank youIt can be bought as a supplement but it seems fairly expensive-
It can be found here.
From here - my doctor ordered it for me:@Learner1 ...where do you get your custom amino blend?
Many ME/CFS patients in our cohort take vitamin B supplements (26/50, 52%) that have the potential to increase levels of pantothenic acid. Use of vitamin B supplements was associated with higher levels of pantothenic acid and lower fatigue scores
