The efficacy and safety of acetyl-l-carnitine (500 mg three times a day) versus methylcobalamin (0.5 mg three times a day) to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy was assessed in a Chinese multicentre, randomised, parallel-group, double-blind, double-dummy, positive-controlled, non-inferiority phase II clinical trial
This may in part be because gut bacteria metabolise l-carnitine into a compound called trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), which is known to cause furring of the arteries and potentially lead to atherosclerosis Thyroid function: taking l-carnitine as a supplement can make the symptoms of a low-functioning thyroid worse Muscle weakness and seizures: high amounts of l-carnitine may cause muscle weakness in those with chronic kidney disease and may increase the risk of seizures in those with seizure-related disorders Food sources of carnitine There are many natural food sources of carnitine
