Dr. Daniel Lebowitz answered

Specializes in Anti-Aging Medicine

Here are some:: CLA: For reducing body fat in obese patients, a dose of 1.8 to 7 grams per day has been used. However, doses greater than 3.4 grams per day do not seem to offer any additional benefit. L-Carnitine: The standard dose for L-carnitine is between 500-2,000mg.
