"I try different brands for different supplements all the time (unless I know when its it, its it) I pay very close attention to what my body is telling me, this is one product that works very well with me! I take it in the morning before I eat along with other amino acids (they work well together). It makes a difference when taking them consistantly and with other ones. I never take one amino by its self, I believe they dont work as well."

"I seemed to understand things even more clearly with this Carnitine-seems like I zoomed through a book on Investing like it was nothing. I'm only in the mid-30's and I'm not yet demented -but I feel like it sometimes, hectic as life is. I don't know if I need this, but since it works well with Alpha Lipoic Acid, I decided to get both."

"The association between alpha limpoic acid and acetyl lcarnitine has been well established. I use 300mg of alpha lipoic acid and 500 mg of acetyl l carnitine. For cell structure and mitichondria life it has proven to be very positive and NSI has the best value on a superior product."

"I feel this is an excellent product. I would recommend this product for anyone who is serious about training and getting rid of unwanted fat. It is especially good for those that need to cut and define in a shorter period of time and will also provide some energy as an advantage. Many people take this product along with BCAAS to get that ripped look. enjoy!!!"
