Hi SweetOrange,
Supported evidence recommends taking L-carnitine 1 hour before a workout AND on an empty stomach. I take ALCAR (Acetyl L-Carnitine) which has more health benefits than the standard L-carnitine. What's more is how ALCAR (L-carnitine too) is how it's utilized in the Citric Acid Cycle thereby improving mitochondrial respiration (synthesis). Though to fully enhance the citric acid cycle (CAC) – also known as the TCA cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle) we need to match the amino acids used during the cycle. Look at figure 3.0 and see how L-carnitine makes its way through the outer and then onto the inner mitochondrial membrane, truly fascinating stuff lol.

Btw, I forget to mention that with PCOS when insulin spikes it increases testosterone, which correlates with adrenal androgens too. And so " personally " I think a low (or zero) carb diet with 4-6 ounces protein per day and moderate amount of fat and daily caloric total of 1500 to 1800 works best for PCOS and NBE. Do you (or anyone else) notice whenever you eat a heavy carb meal your breasts don't look so good?, lol, it does that way for me, lol...and then it takes hours to get them back up to snuff, or roughly the time insulin is excreted out of one's body.
But I also believe (with high confidence) that when gastrin is inhibited in stomach acids estrogen will rise, meaning insulin goes down with a corresponding rise in estrogen rise, I doubt you'll find this statement on the web, butttt I could be wrong lol.
