Hey there! I hope you’re doing well I want to ask if someone taking acetyl l catnitine for weight loss aid and got the side effects like fishy odour of sweat and breath . Then how we will reverse this effect or it remain same for life time? Please please answer me

I had terrible stomach cramp and diarrhea shortly after taking it. Will this eventually go away or will it be every time I take it?

Helen: But aren’t ALCAR and L-Carnitine chemically similar enough that it would be prudent to assume similar effects on thyroid? ConsumerLab.com says: “Use of acetyl-L-carnitine or other forms of carnitine is not advisable when thyroid levels are low”.

In reply to Doug. Hi Doug, there's no scientific articles available on ALCAR's effects on thyroid function, only anecdotal evidence.

Does ALCAR inhibit thyroid function, or is it just LCAR? Would be a useful distinction to make.

L-Carnitine potentially speeds up fat loss dramatically. The problems are poor bioavailability when taken orally and what does get absorbed is eliminated rapidly, points you alluded to. The solution is intramuscular injections in a hyperinsulemic (wrong word but I can’t think of the correct one) I just mean we need blood insulin levels above a threshold while injection is dispersing. This is repeated for a week and muscle Carnitine levels stay elevated for upwards of 90 hours. So one loading week and then eod injections or e3d injections keep levels steady. In the initial study they used an exogenous form of insulin but later got the same results with an average of 94 grams of carbohydrate with each Carnitine injection. I am sure you are familiar with these studies. People who wanted to forego needles altogether were able to very slowly get an effect but as you pointed out the oral dosage really gets uncomfortable at 3 grams and in this case they need to take it all at once, so I believe what could be accomplished with exogenous insulin and Carnitine in 24 hours (if both are delivered IV) days using sugar and oral Carnitine. But many people do IM Carnitine and spike endogenous insulin and as get amazing results. Stephens et al. Is the name of the researcher(s).

Also, most of the time he specified that it’s only in the case of ALCar, and he pointed out that ALCar is better. Also, in the buy recommendation at the end, he put only ALCar, and not a single different form. So yeah, so much for you saltiness

I couldn’t help but notice that most of your references were for acetyl-l-carnitine, and not carnitine. So much for accuracy. :)

What dosage would you use for promoting SOD2 function and for energy?

Most I see recommend 2,000mg.

Thanks!
