A member asked:
I take 1200mg l-carnitine 30mins before workout with 1.5 liter water, does it have bad side effect for me?

Many concerns here..: With your supplement particular, there's actual very little scientific evidence it provides a benefit. Recent studies actually show that carnitine gets metabolized in the gut to compounds that can cause heart damage. I'm also concerned about your stretch marks and liver issues & possible steroids. Bodybuilders get stretch marks when muscle grows faster than the skin around it. Doesn't happen norma.
