Anyone here know some real facts about l-carnitine? Supposedly it is a great supplement that works as a fat burner. I'm wondering if anyone ever tried it?

A friend of mine was asking me...

age: 25

height: 1.77 m

weight: 70 kg

style: Seven Star Northern Praying Mantis

how long: 1 year and counting :)

Oh, that depends... Broomsticks are allowed?? :rolleyes:
