L-Carnitine linked to NMOSD risk
We explored the relationship between circulating L-carnitine levels and the risk of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) using data from genetic studies.

Our findings indicate that higher levels of L-carnitine may protect against NMOSD, specifically in patients who are negative for aquaporin-4 antibodies. However, there's no causal effect on the seropositive type of NMOSD.

This suggests that while L-carnitine could be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target, its effectiveness may vary depending on the patient subtype.

l-carnitine shows modest benefits
This study looked at how l-carnitine might help prevent muscle wasting in patients with Pemphigus Vulgaris, an autoimmune disease treated with glucocorticoids.

We administered l-carnitine or a placebo to 44 participants over eight weeks while measuring their muscle metabolism markers.

While the results showed some positive changes in markers like IGF-1 and myostatin, there were no significant differences between the l-carnitine and placebo groups.

Ultimately, l-carnitine appears to benefit muscle metabolism and regeneration but may not be markedly more effective than placebo.

ALC promotes remyelination, improves motor function
We explored how acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) might aid recovery in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, a debilitating autoimmune disorder. Using a controlled study with three groups, we assessed the effects of ALC on coordination and balance in mice subjected to cuprizone diet for 12 weeks.

Our findings showed that mice receiving ALC demonstrated improved motor skills and remyelination in the corpus callosum. ALC helped reduce harmful free radicals and boosted specific myelin-related genes, indicating its potential as a therapeutic antioxidant for myelin repair.

Increased energy levels

L-carnitine acts as a battery for the body! I used it for a month (1 capsule 500 mg daily) to recover from covid, not for weight loss. It significantly aided my digestive tract and nervous system, alleviating severe fatigue. I now have energy to walk and exercise, and the weight loss of 4 kg has been a bonus. My husband takes it too for fertility support. Following doctor recommendations, I'll also give it to my daughter, who is struggling with energy post-covid. I trust this product and have ordered it multiple times.

Effective for weight loss
My husband started taking L-carnitine for weight management, and within three weeks, he saw excellent results—losing excess weight and enhancing muscle definition. The dosage is convenient, although the container only holds 60 capsules. Still, it serves our needs well, and I recommend L-carnitine for a natural weight loss approach.

Reduces fatigue

Wonderful L-Carnitine! I ordered it for myself and have no regrets. This supplement is crucial not only for athletes but also for the elderly, as it reduces both physical and mental fatigue. It preserves muscle tone and enhances heart function, especially under stress, while also cleansing the body. I highly recommend it!

3,3-Dimethyl-1-butanol's anti-inflammatory effects
We investigated the effects of 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol (DMB) on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), an autoimmune condition. Our experiments revealed that DMB significantly reduced arthritis severity by over 50%, regardless of its role in trimethylamine production, a compound linked to inflammation.

Surprisingly, DMB worked independently of the gut microbiome. We identified a new metabolite from DMB, 3,3-dimethyl-1-butyric acid (DMBut), which also showed positive effects against inflammation. Together, these findings suggest that DMB and its metabolites offer a new way to manage autoimmune arthritis through immune system modulation.

L-Carnitine aids in arthritis treatment
We explored the effects of combining L-carnitine and zinc with methotrexate (MTX) to address gastrointestinal toxicity during arthritis treatment. Conducted on Wistar rats, the study assessed various treatments for their ability to counteract MTX-related intestinal damage while enhancing anti-arthritic benefits.

We found that the combination of zinc and L-carnitine notably reduced oxidative stress and inflammation associated with MTX, activating protective signaling pathways. Overall, this approach shows promise in balancing effective arthritis management with reduced gastrointestinal side effects.

We identified that L-carnitine levels play a role in immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) induced myasthenia gravis (MG), a serious immune-related side effect. Through comparative genomic analysis of a thymoma patient, we discovered a genetic variant linked to this condition. Remarkably, when this patient underwent ICI treatment again with L-carnitine pretreatment, they experienced a notable response without any MG symptoms returning. This finding offers a promising glimpse into personalized treatment strategies for managing adverse effects associated with cancer therapies.

This is not my first order; I take L-carnitine myself and also for my spouse before morning training. The effects are noticeable within 4-5 days—I have more energy and feel less drowsy. I recommend it!
