Age 58. I've never used any sort of supplement, except for vitamins: Solgar Naturevite, chromium, that's about it. I've got a $10 bottle of liquid L-Carnitine.
I'd like to drop 4-5 pounds. That's all.
What can I expect? Will I feel different on day 1? Day 7? Will there be any weird side effects? Are there any obvious counterindications--things that would have me stop immediately and throw the rest of it away?
Please only post if you've actually used the stuff.
I've just purchased my first batch of L-Carnitine. What can I expect?

Perhaps you should have done some research and consulted your primary care physician before buying this product.
Are you taking other medication? They may not be compatible with this product. You should always consult your physician and/or pharmacist before adding a supplement to your diet. -

The only side affect I ever saw from taking it was a slight tingling sensation in my arms. I saw no affects on weight loss, performance, or recovery.

I used this in conjunction with CLA and had some pretty good results, Like all weight loss supplements they won't work on their own, diet and/or exercise is where the real weight loss comes from, but L Carnitine has shown to help use the fat for energy burning more. I didn't notice any side effects myself. Im a 39 year old male. I'd give it about 4-6 weeks to start really kicking in.

I got my bottle on Saturday. Took a half dose the first day to make sure I didnt blow stomach out. All was fine so I took suggested dose and that went down OK too.
Running has been fine.
When are you taking, before a run or after? -

I haven't taken it yet. I thought I'd come here, start a thread, get spanked by a doctor or two, and get some good crowdsourced advice from runners like you who have actually tried it. -
I'm a couple years younger than you. No conditions and not on any meds. From what I've read I don't see a lot of risk.
I'm carrying about 7 extra pounds and have been on the first healthy running streak in about 2 years.
Would love to be able to train a bit this year and race again so this seemed like a low risk shot to to help. -
LOL.....they even get 58 year olds.......
Here's what you can expect: You will lose weight.......in your wallet only.
The only way YOU will lose bodyweight is if you take too much and develop gastrointestinal distress. -
You're going to need some viagra, bro

Dr Oz says it's bad for you.

So, you tried it and didn't get any results? -
I took it and now I have a 10 inch dong. You may not experience similar shrinkage though.

Yeah, if you are in the mindset to take stuff just go on and take a SARM or buy real gear.
The real stuff isn't as expensive as this junk and IT WORKS. -

You sound really smart. Thank goodness we have someone of your depth here. -
Take 1 drop a day,with a balanced diet of :mostly vegetables,not too sweet,not to much,and 150 minutes a week of exercise (running?).You should be able to lose 1 pound a week.
