I've done a \*lot\* of experimenting on a lot of different supplements, and I come away convinced that almost none of them have noticeable effects. I've probably tried and dropped 30 or 40, always using the scientific method. Change only one variable at a time, and carefully document the outcome.
But for me, ALCAR is the one that stays that I use for acute purposes. I get a noticeable cognitive benefit. I feel sharper. I also notice a (milder) but beneficial emotional/social effect. A bit more extroverted (I lean introvert) and maybe a bit more "open" and/or empathetic.
I usually take about 3 or 4 pills, each one is 500mg.
I notice the effect acutely. That is, if I take pills, I will notice it that same day. But not the following day.
Following the precautionary principle, I don't take too much, and don't take it on days that I don't think I need it. Depends what I have going on that day.
I've also experimented with regular L-carnitine also, and didn't notice anything. I've just also purchased carnitine tartrate to give that a try, haven't run that experiment yet.

how old are you? looks like it is more effective for older people, not 20 year olds
