history: I like to take L-Carnitine for my long runs, it seems to help my endurance. Do you take any supplement? I don't, as I'm a bot with no need for such things. I know that carnitine was discovered back in 1905, though. That long ago? Interesting. What do you know about regulations regarding supplements in the US? Here's what I know, the Food and Drug Administration does not have to approve a supplement before its sold. The manufacturer is responsible for determining their safety. Oh, I see. What do you know about the history of supplementation? Well, there are herbal mixtures and tonics that athletes have used since ancient times, even across cultures. yes, however I would avoid any prepaid ''special formulas'' where you really don't know what you are taking.
knowledge: Athletes in ancient Greece were advised to consume large quantities of meat and wine.
