Two grams of carnitine per day has been shown in a small open-label randomized trial to improve symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Two forms of carnitine were used in this study, acetylcarnitine and propionylcarnitine, where 59% and 63% of subjects reported improvement respectively.
Interestingly, acetylcarnitine improved mental fatigue while propionylcarntine improved general fatigue.
Carnitine is an amino acid that helps the mitochondria create energy and ATP.

Is this the same as L-Carnitine or is it a different substance?
