Carnitine for growth & weight

[Guest guest]

I've decided to try carnitine to see if that will help put on

some weight. The prematurity-induced hypothyroidism has resolved itself

but I just cannot seem to get any weight on . I'm hoping this

will help him absorb fat better.

So, my many more questions are:

1. How much carnitine to start with? (He's 4 1/2 and 27 lbs.)

2. Is there such a thing as too much carnitine?

3. Is there another supplement you'd recommend to fatten him up?

4. I am a little confused because I thought I read that carnitine can

assist with weight LOSS but I can't find where I read that. Has anyone

information about this? I certainly DON'T want to give it to him for

weight LOSS!!!!! LOL - If only I had that problem! The doctors refuse

to lipo it out of me and pump it in him.

Thanks again,
