Paige Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I want to add L-Carnitine to my regime. After reading, it appears that this amino can come from animal or plant sources. Does anyone know what to look for to make sure that it is from plant sources? I noticed that True Protein can add carnitine to its protein powders. Has anyone tried that? Any feedback would be great.

xjohanx Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Why do you even want to add it?The best way to know the source is to ask the people making it or selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have had good experiences with carnitine. But thanks for the advice. According to the folks at True Protein their L-carnitine is derived from animal sources. Glad I asked first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob PMFF Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Does anyone know if BCAA's (Branch Chained Amino Acids) are animal derived? BSN brand specifically I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 I have been doing some research on aminos. It seems that a good rule of thumb is that most aminos on the market are derived from animal sources unless otherwise indicated. I was shocked to find this out but it appears to be true.

joelk Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Does anyone know if BCAA's (Branch Chained Amino Acids) are animal derived? BSN brand specifically I guess... I know some brands use animal derived aminos and others use plant derived. It's best to ask the individual companies to be safe. I don't know about BSN, looking at some of their products it doesn't look like they are really trying to create anything for the vegan market.
