Re: Anyone tried Acetyl L Carnitine?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I feel better when I take Acetyl-L-Carnitine. I have MCS and the inflammation

issues. I also tend to get lactic acidosis, which corresponds to fibromyalgia

symptoms. Meat consumption may worsen lactic acidosis, but often vegetarians are

deficient in carnitine. I have noticed that ACL improves my energy during

walking and jogging.

Happy Holiday,

Ingrid

Hi Ingrid!

I'm starting on ALC (Acetyl-L-Carnitine) this morning. I'm

wondering how much you take a day, at what intervals, and

whether you take it with food or on an empty stomach. I did a

web search and found both recommendations, i.e., to take it on

an empty stomach AND to take it with meals. So this morning I

took 500mg on an empty stomach. I'm going to try to build up to

3 grams a day based on research I read about on the web that

suggests thats the dosage at which it becomes effective.

I read that L-carnitine helps with mitochondrial

dysfunction. Since most of us have this problem,

that may be why it helps.

L-carnitine, all forms gives me huge sugar swings. Very

unconfortable. High anxiety when that happens.

It makes me feel great otherwise. Better concentration, better

stamina, etc. I stopped use because it makes me feel horribly

hypoglycemic at times. And anxiety is high when on it.

Just wondering if you've had your blood sugar checked to see if it's

actually hypoglycemia, or maybe something else, like perhaps an

additive in the product? Many supplements have fillers that folks

are allergic too, and some of the l-carnitine products come as a

liquid, with lots of artificial flavors, etc.

Also the capsules, if they're gelatin, may have MSG in them, or at

least high levels of glutamate, which would definitely cause anxiety.

Just my two cents!
