L-Carnitine works fine. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a little better utilized, but if you can't find it I would go ahead and try the other.

I use it every day and it definitely makes a difference in muscle soreness and exercise tolerance.

I take 500 mg per day. I need to point out that this has not been written up in a medical study. I was taking carnitine for a different condition and found that it really improved the myotonia, especially exercise tolerance.
