Product Details

l‑Carnitine plays an important role in fatty acid metabolism and has important antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory properties. l‑Carnitine is a non‑essential amino acid synthesized primarily in the liver and kidneys from the amino acids lysine and methionine. l‑Carnitine is stored in skeletal muscles, brain, heart, and sperm, and therefore plays a functional role in each of these tissues. Deficiency if in l‑carnitine may be associated with certain medications, angina, and vegan or vegetarian diets. Symptoms of deficiency may include fatigue, muscle weakness, and a decreased tolerance to metabolic stress.

Safety / Interactions

l‑carnitine is considered to be a safe supplement with rare side effects that may include nausea or gastric upset. l‑Carnitine does interact with some medications so if you are taking any of the medications below, please speak with your health care practitioner before taking l‑carnitine: 

• Isotretinoin (Accutane) can cause side effects similar to those seen with carnitine deficiency, including muscle pain and weakness, high cholesterol, and liver concerns. Taking l‑carnitine with this medication may improve these side effects. 

• Valproic acid (Depakote) – Taking l‑carnitine concurrently with this medication may prevent any deficiency and reduce the side effects of valproic acid. 

• Doxorubicin – Concurrent use of l‑carnitine may help protect cardiac cells against the toxicity that can result from doxorubicin. 

• Thyroid hormone – l‑Carnitine may reduce the amount of thyroid hormone that is able to get into cells.
