- AOA!!
L-carnitine is an amino acid which is naturally produced in the body. It is also used as a replacement supplement to shed extra body fat. These tablets can help you get off to a good start, but once you *stop taking them*, the weight you lost may come back. To keep the weight off, you must eat a healthy diet and have to be physically active on a regular basis. You must continue these healthy habits even after quitting the weight loss tablets. Keep in mind that reducing weight and keeping it off is a lifelong effort. There are few side effects associated with L-Carnitine if used in excess, i.e nausea, vomiting, upset GI, acidity and diarrhea,. It can also cause the breath, urine and sweat to have a "fishy" bad odor.. Do not use these weight loss tablets for longer period. Try to reduce weight with nutrient dense diet and regular physical activity.
Kind Regards
its safe to use but only with workouts

- Dear!
The weight loss supplements may have side effects or interact with medications and some food items, you should take them only if your Nutritionist allows you with the provided eating plan. The effective dose is 1-2 g per day. Please read the label before buying the product.
