Have you seen/used this supplement?

I’ve seen this being pushed quite a bit.

But I had to do my research.

Basically unless you have liver or kidney issues.

You don’t really need this.

I always suggest getting blood work annually to check for deficiencies or any hormonal balances before taking supplements.

Your body makes all that it needs. If you take more your body will just get rid of it as waste.

One reason i believe a healthy person should be taking this is if you’re on hormonal birth control or medications because they can cause you to store body fat. It changes your body chemistry.

This supplement is one you should definitely speak to your doctor about.

It’s said to help preserve muscle glycogen and promote fat oxidation. (Essentially saying it’ll help you turn fat into energy )

But again a normal persons body does make enough on its own.

In medicine it’s used to treat the following

- chest pain

- heart failure

- kidney failure

-male infertility

-swelling of the heart

-toxic side affects from valporic acid

Side effects of taking this may include

-heartburn

-diarrhea

-seizures

-can make urine , breath and sweat smell fishy.

Avoid using D carnitine and DL carnitine , these formed or carnitine might block the effects of Lcarnitine and cause symtomps similar to a deficiency (kidney and liver issues )

Avoid using if you are pregnant.

Speak with a healcare provider if you are breastfeeding.

If you have hyperthyroidism, again consult with a physician it can make the symptoms worse.

If you have seizures or a history of them. It’s best to avoid it all together.

If you take any medications for blood clotting , thyroid issues again speak to your doctor.

I don’t want this post to be completely negative or scary. Because L carnitine does help your burn fat and keep your liver , kidneys and brain healthy.

I just don’t want anyone taking something they don’t need. This product may help you lose weight , so don’t run from it. Just please please speak to a doctor. I can’t stress that enough.

Anytime you consider a supplement please reach out to your doctor. Influencers will sell you anything. Remember that.

If you’ve had a positive experience please share it ! I love reading medical journals and all. But I do want some first hand accounts. I may try this one soon. After speaking to my doctor.
