L-Carnitine for Fatigue?

Has anybody here tried it?
Today I was googling hepc fatigue for about the hundredth time in the last 8 years and I found several articles about l-carnitine being beneficial. I don't remember ever seeing that before now, apparently it helps while on tx, too. I wish I had seen it 6 months ago, but I'm trying it now I'm finished anyway and see what happens.

You might want to also check your vit D levels .. D3 does seem to help also ....

Hi if you do a search here on the forum you will find others who used it and recommended it for clearing brain fog.  There used to be a doctor here Hep Researcher, his blogs are down in the right hand corner of this page and he recommended many supplements to help him.
I recently started NADH a form of Vit B3 and it is helping me very much, I am 2 months post tx and was looking for something
I also, when I can remember :), use the L-Carnitine.
Best wishes, congrats on finishing tx
