Question 5: Do you know what the difference is between Acetyl L-Carnitine and L-Carnitine Fumerate. Also is L-Arginine and L-Lysine able to be taken with L-Carnitine in either form...? (Posted: 8th Sept, 2008)
Answer: I believe both forms can be taken with Arginine and Lysine.

As for witch is better...thats a good question. I have spoken with Nick Jones from Gen-Tec about this (he is very clued up on amino acid function). Acetyl L-Carnitine is a great fat burner (by oxidising fats in the mitochondria) as is fumerate. However the Acetyl form also converts into Acetyl L-Choline, which aids in fat transportation and fat burning too in its own right. Ive always used and suggested using Acetyl...but Im always open to new data to prove another product is superior to one I am currently using and suggesting.

(Posted: 11th May, 2009)
Answer: Yes you can use the Acetyl L-Carnitine with that no problem at all. For post workout, Creabolan is an excellent product. If you wanted to have a break from creatine, Synabol would be the perfect post workout product.

(Posted: 18th May, 2009)
Answer: No Acetly L-Carnitine should not cause any upsetting of the stomach. If you are still having problems with the Lipo6 discontinue use and maybe try Thermalene, it has more acting fat burning ingredients and lower levels of stimulants.

I'm trying to strip body fat and am using a WPC/WPI after weight training plus a slow release protein at night, will this coupled with a high protein diet (200g/day) provide enough amino's to keep my lean muscle or should I supplement more amino's? Also, would using the Musashi Dispersion or D-Toxilean with acetly carnitine get better fat loss results? (Posted: 23rd Sept, 2009)
Answer: I would stack that with the D-Toxilean as well as Multi Amino and BCAA's before any training session. Alternatively you could stack D-toxilean, Acetyl L-Carntine with Synabol pre training. We have had excellent feed back on that stack for pre-training.

Question 15: Any idea how long before recreate is back in stock? (Posted: 22nd Oct, 2009)
Answer: Hi Adrian,

USP Labs are currently going through the licensing process with all of their products, so we don't have an exact eta sorry. Hopefully it will be within the next two months but we can't say for sure.
If you are looking for another thermogenic, our most popular sellers are Thermalene Extreme by Syn-Tec, PyrogenX by Horleys or Hydroxycut Hardcore.
Thanks

Question 16: Can i stack THermalene, Acetyl L-Carnitine & CLA together? (Posted: 26th Oct, 2009)
Answer: Yes, But Thermalene already has Acetyl L-Carnitine in it so you might not need to take more.

Question 17: Can hydroxycut max be used with fat stop capsules? (Posted: 28th Oct, 2009)
Answer: HI - it can but you are probably just wasting your money as they are both designed to do the same thing. Which in turn doesnt mean you will those "more". If you are wanting to lose body fat and already have the fat stop we would recommend stacking the D-toxilean or Acetyl L-carnitine as thats what we all do here for a great fat loss combo.
Hope this helps...

Question 18: Can A-bomb,T-bomb,Leukic,Gakic, Hydrocycut be taken all together? (Posted: 2nd Dec, 2009)
Answer: Hi. It is fine for these products to be taken together. A-Bomb and Leukic are both Anabolic activators. So I wouldn’t double up on this supplement. It would be fine to take T-Bomb, A-Bomb, Gakic and Hydroxycut together. Hydroxycut is a thermogenic, so as long as your water intake is kept up it should be fine.

Question 19: Hi wondering whats the best time to take acetyl l-carnitine and whats it best taken with ie. juice or water and will it stack well with syntec glyco whey, synthesis, Thermalene, syntec d-toxilean, androjacked, zinadrol, cla-1000 and syntec vitaguard for lean muscle gain and fatloss thanks in advance? (Posted: 24th Feb, 2010)
Answer: Hi. It will be fine to stack with your current stack. I suggest 1 serve in the morning and 1 serve 30 mins before training. I suggest mixing it in about 30 - 40ml of water - You are welcome to use Apple Juice as a chaser if you find the taste unpleasant. Hope this helps.
