MORE Frequently Asked Questions

1) My mother is interested in taking An Apple Juice Drink with L-Carnitine but she is diabetic. Is it advisable?
Although L-Carnitine is generally safe for diabetic patients, we don’t recommend Nn Apple Juice Drink with L-Carnitine for severely diabetic patients, since the apple juice contains fructose. Although fructose is a natural fruit-derived sugar, those suffering from diabetes should limit their consumption of fructose.

2) I have lost some weight after taking this product. Can I take more than the recommended dosage to lose more weight faster?
While L-Carnitine is safe, we would not encourage you to consume more than what your body requires. 4 tablespoons (4 x 15ml) daily is sufficient to supply your body the L-Carnitine it needs. Taking more than the recommended dosage will not exponentially enhance its efficacy, plus it will not be economical. Your body will use the amount of L-Carnitine it requires & excrete the excess.
