L-CARNITINE   1500 to 4000 mg a day in divided doses   *

Chelating agent.  Synergistic with Coenzyme Q-10.  Vitamins C, niacin, and B-6, and iron are required for synthesis from lysine and methionine by the liver.  Some people are unable to
synthesize adequate amounts of carnitine. (27)  Raises HDL/LDL ratio, decreases risk of liver, 
kidney and cardiovascular diseases in diabetes, lowers blood fat level, increases muscular
strength and reduces fatigue and angina.  The rate at which fat is made available as fuel for muscle is determined by amount of carnitine in the muscle.  Enhances the effectiveness of
antioxidant vitamins E and C.  May have some anti-aging benefits for the brain by reducing
lipofuscins.  Lipofuscins are excess fats and wastes from damaged cells.  For Alzheimer's disease L-acetylcarnitine, LAC, may be the best form. (27)  Choline reduces urinary carnitine excretion.  Alcohol impairs synthesis of carnitine.  Source is red meat and dairy products.  The
mirror-image form, D-carnitine which does not occur in nature, may be toxic. 

* Those with impaired liver function should seek the advice of a physician on amount of supplement. (27)
