    I was taking 500 mg of L-carnatine as a gel tab. It makes me nauseous, unable to focus, and get a bad headache. It also makes me voraciously hungry. I realized after I was taking it as part of the GNC Women's Ulta Mega Active Vitapak and I'd feel sick.

    I started using this -- two tablespoons in the morning and two in mid-afternoon. I have lost 40 lbs in just a few months and plan to lose another 15 to get to my ideal body weight of around 210. I am 6'2" tall, age 58. I workout regularly 1 hour of cardio 5 x a week and 30 minutes of weights 3 days per week. This is an amazing supplement.
