Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 info - carnitine L-carnitine has been given to people with chronic lung disease in trials investigating how the body responds to exercise. In these double-blind reports, 2 grams of L-carnitine taken twice per day for two to four weeks led to positive changes in lung function and metabolism during exercise. Cardiac arrhythmia, a term for irregular heart beat that can range from harmless to life-threatening, is another disorder for which L-carnitine may be useful. Take 500-1,000 mg twice a day. Combined with Magnesium and CoQ10, it is very effective for irregular heart beat such as PVCs (Premature Ventricular contractions) In a preliminary study patients with diabetes and high blood pressure were given 4 grams of L-carnitine per day. After 45 weeks, irregular heartbeat and abnormal heart functioning decreased significantly compared to nonsupplemented patients. In one double-blind trial, using 500 mg propionyl-L-carnitine (PC) per day led to a 26% increase in exercise capacity after six months. In other research, patients with congestive heart failure given 1.5 grams PC daily for 15 days had a 21% increase in exercise tolerance and a 45% increase in oxygen consumption. Always talk to your Doctor before taking any vitamin supplements. http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:XwvPfA0GXEgJ:tsangenterprise.com/news71.htm+\ carnitine+and+heart & cd=3 & hl=en & ct=clnk & gl=us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
