I think i'm getting closer to finding out what this flushing is.

I now believe it's the l carnatine from Klaire labs. Has anyone experienced this

with this product. He got red, hot and flushed over the weekend after taking it!

I hope this makes sense!

L Carnitine is a transport for Long chain fatty acids across the cell membrane

for use by the mitochondria. When it's plentiful, the body will use this for

energy -- which could speed up the heart, blood circulation, etc. -- since the

skin is a detox pathway, it could be part of why your son is flushed.

I can tell you, I have taken L Carnitine w/Chromium before and I was hot and

flushed ALL The time. It was very uncomfortable, and I was constantly

thirsty...

Also, B-3, or Niacin (and Niacinamide)can also cause flushing. Niacin can cause

flushing, however, according to my book: The Ultimate Healing System by

Nepore, ND, he says that " Niacinamide is similar in effect and theraputic value

to Niacin, but does not cause flushing, tingling and itching. " He also notes

that has never seen anyone taking Royal Jelly (apparently high in B3) to get a

flushing effect.

My son had gotten some red rashes while on the B12, and what I found was when I

didn't balance his b vitamins, folic acid, iron and zinc, he got a rash, when I

got the balance right, he didn't. I think the rash is part of the detox path

because B12 is water soluable (so it would stand to reason that it would go out

when you urinate or sweat..) If you are taking L-Carnitine too...it might be

just overload.

So, if you are trying to balance your B Vitamins, it might help to look at B3

too...just a thought.

Yes !!! It makes perfect sense to me and he is thirsty but only when the

flushing occurs, he was drinking water all day!!!!Thank you!!! I'm now 100% sure

it's the L Carnitine.

I wondered if he drank a gallon of water like I did...ugh..it's really

uncomfortable. and you just can't get cool on the inside...

Just a word to the wise, don't throw out the baby with the bathwater..L

Carnitine has it's place. You might want to make a lower dosage, and work on

balancing the b vitamins. (this should help) and if you are on chromium, take

them apart.

Or you might try using coq10 w/L carnitine. I found that was tolerable - and

take them apart from chromium. There is more than one way to get the desired

result without being uncomfortable.

Anyway...good luck, this is a tough one... laura
