Can anyone give me advise on l carnitine. What are the side effects, what are the benefits, where can i buy it?

You can buy it anywhere that sells vitamins, CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart. Some stores have it in the area where they sell protein shakes, weight loss products. I have taken it before to help with weight loss and say save your money. But if you are set on taking it, side effects I found on line (I had none) include skin rash, nausea, vomiting, aggitation and body odor.
